Entrepreneurship at CUBS

Among our key aims in Cork University Business School is to foster an entrepreneurial mind-set among our students, staff and alumni alike. Our intention is to develop UCC as an entrepreneurial university and embed entrepreneurship as an integral part of undergraduate and postgraduate education.

The CUBS Entrepreneurship Group within the Business School is actively involved in research and publishing in the entrepreneurship space and we hope to inspire, educate and empower entrepreneurs as they innovate, create start-ups, scale existing businesses or become or social entrepreneurs.

The CUBS Entrepreneurship Group also plays a key role in the multidisciplinary Entrepreneurship Implementation Group (EIG) in UCC, whose is to develop an entrepreneurship strategy that aligns with the University’s Strategic Plan.

Our aim is to nurture entrepreneurial talent through increasing our understanding of how some entrepreneurs excel at innovating, financing, scaling and harvesting their businesses. Learn more about related programmes by following the link, Study Entrepreneurship.
