👊 We kicked off January at VARA Innovation Specialists with a super well attended and very engaging commercialisation exploration workshop at Technological University Dublin Aungier Street Campus delivered in collaboration with the TU Dublin Research and Innovation team.

🚀 Once again, the focus of this practical commercialisation exploration workshop is to get research teams from Technological University Dublin to start thinking about their research from a potential customers perspective using lean start-up tools and techniques. The work we are doing with TU Dublin Research and Innovation team is demonstrating an effective model for Irish Universities to build a pipeline of project teams interested in commercialising their technologies, substantially increasing demand for commercialisation support and funding

👏 Special mention and huge thanks to Guest speakers Fiona Ryan and Kieran Collins who overviewed their journey from idea to securing Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Funding for their very innovative soon to spin out Colata project. Thanks also to Shawna Johnston for the hard work in arranging the event.
