The overall aim of the annual VentureLaunch accelerator programme, held at NovaUCD, is to support the creation and launch of sustainable and profitable new ventures based on UCD intellectual property.

The objective of the programme is to equip UCD researchers with the knowledge, skills and understanding that will be required to work as part of a team leading a new commercial venture. On completion of the programme the expectation is that participating new venture projects will have developed a commercially viable business plan.

The showcase and awards evening will take place on Wednesday, 27 November 2019 (5.30 pm - 8.00 pm) in the Moore Auditorium, UCD O'Brien Centre for Science. At this event the participating start-ups will each deliver a short pitch and an overall winner, as assessed by the independent judging panel, will be announced.

Professor Mark Ferguson, Chair, European Innovation Council (EIC) Advisory Board will be the guest speaker at the event. Professor Ferguson is also Director General of Science Foundation Ireland and Chief Scientific Advisor to the Government of Ireland

The high-profile event will be attended by members of the business, investment and University communities.
