IADT Showcases Creativity and Innovation at Sandyford Business District Strategic Network
Last week, IADT Dún Laoghaire had the pleasure of contributing to the Sandyford Business District Strategic Network Group, held in the new Polestar Dublin showroom.
Representing IADT, Dr. Mike Glennon, Industry Engagement Officer shared how the TU RISE Elevate Programme is connecting with enterprise to deliver:
· Access to creative talent through placements, mentoring, and industry immersion days
· Innovation collaborations tackling real-world challenges
· Adoption of emerging technologies via our Innovate Lab workshops and Immersive Studio
· Structured partnerships with global leaders in diverse fields including Biopharma and the creative industries
With Sandyford Business District home to thriving clusters in FinTech, MedTech, AutoTech, EnergyTech and more, the session was an ideal platform to demonstrate how creativity and technology intersect at IADT to support business growth, innovation, and talent pipelines.
A big thank you to CEO Ger Corbett, Niamh Egan (Brodie) and the all SBD team for the invitation and to all present for the great interest shown in IADT. We are looking forward future collaborations!
