Investment opportunities abound at the Enterprise Ireland ‘Big Ideas’ Technology Showcase

On Wednesday 25th September 2013 the brains behind 21 'Big Ideas' from Irish research will make their pitch to over 350 potential investors at the Enterprise Ireland Big Ideas showcase 2013 in the Aviva Stadium, Dublin 4

The inventors, the majority of whom started out as academic researchers, are being given an opportunity to outline their technology offer at what has become an annual fixture in the Irish venture capital and investment sector’s diary.

Amongst the technologies on offer are;

Smart paint that can transform any surface into a whiteboard;
A number of ICT technologies;
Innovative treatments for medical conditions like high-blood pressure, varicose veins and deep-vein thrombosis;
Clean up solutions for toxic sites using natural, low-cost technologies;
Drug discovery technology;
Non-stick, biodegradable chewing gum;

One-to-one meetings between the inventors and potential investors where sensitive commercial discussions can take place will happen after the pitches.

The inventors produced short pitches which are available on YouTube here

All the technologies were built on publicly-funded research conducted in Irish Higher Education Institutes. Enterprise Ireland 's role is to bring the commercial value of research to the attention of potential investors and business partners, to create new companies and high-value employment.
