We can be supporting 100+ high-tech and innovation-led start-ups, and more established companies, at any one time through our facilities (NovaUCD, NexusUCD, AgTechUCD, and elsewhere on campus) and the accelerator programmes we deliver.
Many of these companies are actively seeking early-stage seed capital as well as Series A funding.
Each year we host the annual NovaUCD Investor Day which enables our start-up community to pitch to an invited audience of angel investors and VCs.
