Welcome University of Galway Innovation Office
We are delighted to welcome the University of Galway Innovation Office as a partner of our SCALE by Platform94 regional scaling community.
The University of Galway has long been recognised as one of Ireland's leading drivers of research and innovation. Through the Innovation Office, pioneering research is transformed into commercial opportunities, where ambitious founders and high-potential companies are supported to grow and succeed.
Our organisations have enjoyed a long history and relationship, with many SCALE members having emerged from the University's innovation ecosystem. Together, we are committed to ensuring that innovative businesses across the West and North West have the support, connections and expertise they need at every stage of their journey - from commercialisation and early growth through to international expansion. We are proud to strengthen that relationship through this partnership and look forward to supporting many more ambitious companies as they scale globally.
Marie Donnellan, CEO of Platform94, said: "The University of Galway has been instrumental in shaping the world class innovation landscape across our region. We have worked closely with the University for many years and are delighted to strengthen that relationship through this partnership. Through continued collaboration we can create even greater opportunities for ambitious businesses as they grow, connect and scale internationally.”
Einne Curran, Business Development Manager at University of Galway Innovation Office, said: "The University of Galway is committed to supporting innovation with real-world impact by helping researchers, entrepreneurs and high-potential companies translate ideas into successful ventures. Partnering with SCALE by Platform94 enables us to strengthen the support available to businesses as they move into their next phase of growth, connecting them with a thriving regional community focused on international scaling. We look forward to building on our long-standing relationship with Platform94 and working together to help more companies achieve global success.”
We look forward to working with Fiona Neary, Einne and the wider University of Galway Innovation Office team to continue strengthening the regional innovation ecosystem and supporting the next generation of internationally scaling businesses.
