It was announced this week that 12 new start-up businesses graduating from Phase Two of Enterprise Ireland’s New Frontiers Programme at The LINC based at the Institute of Technology Blanchardstown have collectively confirmed the appointment of 60 new Irish jobs within the next 12 months.
The technology and business start-ups cover a range of industries with one emerging company creating a virtual appointments platform for health and wellbeing Practitioners. Other jobs available will cover the creative arts, beauty, hospitality, data analytics and wellness industries.
The entrepreneurs who have accomplished the six-month Intensive Business Accelerator Course will now set about independently to raise capital investment, grow their businesses, and between them, create employment for 60 aspiring employees keen to work in one of Ireland’s newest, innovative start-ups.
The LINC is calling upon a new wave of entrepreneurs to apply for the 2017 New Frontiers Program. Potential participants can benefit from mentoring, practical access to research and knowledge centres within the IT college and all within close proximity to major industrial and commercial hubs, giving them a competitive edge and a fantastic location to grow their start-up business.
Speaking this week, Learning and Innovation Centre Manager, Claire Mac Namee said, "We are delighted to have guided these entrepreneurs through their start-up journey over the past six months. The LINC (Learning and Innovation Centre) at IT Blanchardstown has become a real magnet for top entrepreneurial talent in the capital and we harness and develop this talent through our partnership with Enterprise Ireland to deliver programmes such as New Frontiers."
