Glassworks, a new 37-acre campus designed to transform collaboration between academia and enterprise, is set to accelerate the southeast’s innovation potential both nationally and internationally. Leading this transformative project is South East Technological University (SETU), in partnership with Frisby Group and Ireland Strategic Investment Fund. Glassworks is strategically positioned within the university and enterprise quarter on the outskirts of Waterford city, a Unesco Learning City. Glassworks builds directly on this foundation, creating a dedicated space where SETU’s teaching, research and innovation activity can come together at a scale not previously seen.
