The event brought together 12 of the most promising research-based spin-out projects from third-level institutions around Ireland, along with some of the country's most active investors and investment stakeholders. Enterprise Ireland invests in about 45 commercialisation fund projects every year. Enterprise Ireland maintains a close relationship with all our spin-out companies so that as many as possible will convert into high-potential startups with equity co-investment from us. The investor ecosystem in Ireland is more interested in the potential of research-based spin-outs than ever before. Kevin Burke is a senior commercialisation specialist at Enterprise Ireland.
