Trinity College Dublin’s extremely successful accelerator programme, Launchbox, will be officially launched tomorrow.
This summer, a total of 13 teams will benefit from office space, funding, mentorship, access to alumni, partner and investor networks and the ideal collaborative environment to launch new start-up ventures that Launchbox extends to them.
These teams will work diligently to deliver investor-ready ventures by the end of the summer.
The teams will introduce themselves and deliver brief pitches at tomorrow’s ‘Meet the Teams’ Kick-Off event in the GMB in Trinity College Dublin, between 10:00 am and 12 noon.
Past Launchbox successes include social enterprise, Foodcloud, which helps businesses redistribute surplus food to those who need it, Touchtech, a payment processing venture and Artomatix which develops tools for automating digital media creation.
LaunchBox Programme Manager, Alison Treacy commented, "Trinity College Dublin is committed to empowering our students to become leaders in business, technology and social enterprise. We are the number 1 university in Europe for producing entrepreneurs and we are determined to continue this work. Through projects like LaunchBox we offer our students the chance to innovate and excel in a supportive startup environment."
