Calling new entrepreneurs! New Frontiers Development Programme now open for applications

The New Frontiers Entrepreneur Development Programme is now open for applications from entrepreneurs, start-ups and people with business ideas that they want to develop and explore.

New Frontiers is funded by Enterprise Ireland, and is delivered twice annually across the South East region by South East Technological University (SETU).  Over an intensive 6 month period, participants learn how to establish and run a new high growth company.  Participants also hear from start-up promoters such as David Whelan, CEO & Founder of Immersive VR Education, Edward Henrick, CEO & Founder of Sonru, Rory O’Connor CEO of Scurri and from many others about their start-up journey.

If you believe that you are capable of building a new company, creating employment and generating revenue and export sales from Ireland, you should apply for a place on Ireland’s largest entrepreneur development programme.  The next Phase 2 of the programme at SETU Waterford Campus will commence on 5th December, 2022.
