Establishment of a Panel for Provision of Entrepreneur Training and Workshops to the New Frontiers programme for TU Dublin

Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin), has supported the delivery of Enterprise Ireland’s New Frontiers programme across the Dublin region since the programme launched nationally in 2012. The New Frontiers programme equips ambitious founders with the right connections, the right skills, and the right route to capital. It empowers them to take an idea or early-stage business through the initial development phases and prepare for their first phases of funding and growth. The programme is structured in three Phases of support and development. This procurement process aimed at recruiting a panel of business experts and facilitators to provide business focussed insights, practical workshops and advice to Phases 2 and 3 of the programme. Phase 2 is delivered full time over 6 months, involving workshops, one to one clinics and other supports. Following a separate competitive selection process, committed participants who have a strong value proposition and who can demonstrate that their business proposition has potential to grow and create jobs may be offered a place on Phase 2. Phase 3 Businesses emerging from Phase 2 will be guided to the most relevant government supports that can best help them at their particular stage of development. Further incubation facilities and support may be available to participants for a limited period, in conjunction with ongoing support from the Incubation Centre Management.
