STUDENT INCUBATOR PROGRAMS: FROM IDEA TO IMPACT
Fireside Chat with Jenny Mullery
In this Fireside Chat, we discuss university incubator programs and how they can be used to support students to develop commercial and social businesses, from idea to implementation. Jennifer Mullery, Community and Impact Manager at IdeasLab University of Galway, will share details of their Start100 program, which aims to help students validate and de-risk their idea to the point of impact.
Through skill development, mentorship, and access to feeder programmes, Start100 takes a person-centric approach, setting milestones and goals with each student. It matches each student with a suitable mentorship panel to support their journey and supports the development of a funding and resource pipeline for each project to maximize its potential for success.
Join this Fireside Chat and learn how to support your student entrepreneurship from idea to impact.
