Creating Impact – 10 Years On
“Waterford is a shining example of how co-locating the incubation centre with the institute has led to the establishment of a software industry that probably should not have existed in Waterford.
Unlike the normal impacts of business around there, this industry has been driven from the educational facility. Also in Waterford one sees the flow of graduates and researchers into local industry and start-ups”.
(Mr. Gearóid Mooney, Director of ICT Commercialisation, Enterprise Ireland, Committee of Public Accounts Debate, 31 January 2013.)
