And it’s why Enterprise Ireland launched the KT Boost programme last week – to bring firepower to Ireland’s research system and maximise the economic and social impact from the investment. Designed to make the most of high performance research at university level, KT Boost will run over four years. In 2022 there were more than 1,500 collaborative engagements between Irish enterprise and universities. Ultimately, KT Boost is expected to accelerate the rate of high potential startups evolving from research or emerging from colleges. ​The KT Boost Programme is co-funded by the Irish Government and the European Union under two European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Regional Programmes.
