DCU Ryan Academy has opened applications for StartUp ScaleUp, a six-month accelerator programme for Internet of Things (IoT) start-ups.
The programme, created with the assistance of StartUp Europe and the European Commission, is a no equity, no cost programme. It begins on 27 June at the DCU Ryan Academy in Citywest with a week of face-to-face workshops delivered by experts in the fields of IoT and business development before moving online for five months of support from experienced facilitators.
Participants will also have ongoing access through the StartUp ScaleUp networks across Europe including corporates like Intel, Arduino, PCH and Deloitte; access to “smart lab” and other IoT testing facilities and advice from engineering faculty at the University of Cartagena in Spain; and online sessions including Q&A sessions with leading players in the IoT and startup sector.
Finally, the successful applicants will promote their companies in a showcase to be held at IoT World Europe Conference in Dublin on the 22-23 November 2016.
“DCU Ryan Academy is delighted to be at the fore-front of connecting Ireland’s rapidly growing Internet of Things startup sector to each other and to other networks in Europe. StartUp ScaleUp is hugely beneficial, combining online expertise with a week of intense workshops, all with the aim of assisting IoT start-ups to scale their company in an increasingly competitive global environment and expand into new European markets,” said DCU Ryan Academy CEO Eoghan Stack.
“We are pleased to act as both a connector, by linking Irish IoT startups with their European counterparts, investors and potential partners and also to act as a facilitator by creating an environment in which Irish IoT startups can come together and avail of mentoring and support.”
The closing date for applications is 13 May.
