Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) has launched a transformative €13.6 million initiative, ARISE – Amplifying Research and Innovation Supporting Enterprise, which aims to revolutionise the way Irish industry and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access research, innovation, and expert support. Funded by the European Union and the Government of Ireland, ARISE is designed to catalyse economic growth and competitiveness in the Eastern and Midlands Region by bridging the gap between academic research and real-world industry challenges.
The programme offers industry access to TU Dublin’s cutting-edge facilities, Ireland’s largest concentration of academic researchers in a technological university, and a team of innovation specialists who will help businesses improve processes, develop new products, and build resilient, future-proof operations. ARISE focuses on five key sectors that are crucial to Ireland’s innovation economy:
- Biopharma, Life Sciences and Medical Technologies
- Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering
- Food, Agritech and the Bioeconomy
- ICT and Financial Services
- Audio-Visual, Creative and Cultural Industries.
ARISE will play a critical role in promoting regional economic resilience, especially in the Eastern and Midlands Region, which has a diverse mix of urban hubs and rural communities. By embedding innovation support in these regions, TU Dublin is helping to level the playing field for industry, particularly SMEs outside traditional tech clusters.
