South East Technological University (SETU) has been awarded funding as part of a prestigious European consortium delivering the BECEE project - Balanced and Enhanced Collaboration for an Entrepreneurship Ecosystem - a transformative initiative aimed at fostering entrepreneurial talent and strengthening innovation capacity across Europe. Led by Rachel O'Dowd, Prof. Helen Hughes, and Dr Ultan McCarthy from SETU's Department of Land Sciences, with Dr James O'Sullivan, Head of Innovation and Commercialisation at SETU, the project is delivered in close collaboration with Professor Bill O'Gorman of Dungarvan Enterprise Centre. BECEE is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), with cross-funding and endorsement from EIT Digital, EIT Climate, EIT Food, and EIT Health. The €1.34 million project brings together four forward-looking higher education institutions - Hanze University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands), Zurich University of Applied Sciences (Switzerland), South East Technological University (Ireland), and Universiteti "Aleksandër Moisiu" Durrës (Albania) - working in tandem with four innovation-driven enterprises: KPN (Eindhoven, Netherlands), Innofuse (Zurich, Switzerland), Dungarvan Enterprise Centre (Ireland), and Linda Laboratory (Durrës, Albania). Speaking about SETU's role, Professor Helen Hughes said, "We are hugely excited by the opportunity to be part of this excellent European consortium furthering innovative solutions, strengthening and supporting our entrepreneurial talent in the region in conjunction with our industrial partner Dungarvan Enterprise Centre. It further strengthens the focus and expertise available within the Department of Land Sciences for entrepreneurship that has been developing across the last decade." The BECEE project will have a tangible impact on regional and national entrepreneurship by developing practical, scalable models to support innovators, start-ups and SMEs. Activities will include training, mentorship, policy development, and new pathways for academic-industry engagement - all contributing to SETU's strategic ambition of connecting for impact. Dr James O'Sullivan noted, "This initiative reflects SETU's deepening commitment to delivering innovation and knowledge exchange across our region, working hand in hand with our enterprise partners to create a more resilient, sustainable, and inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem." The project is already underway and will roll out activities over the next two years across the partner regions. It aligns strongly with SETU's focus on collaboration, regional development, and addressing key societal challenges through innovation.

Dans une affaire, qui a opposé la société Piaggio, société de droit italien à deux sociétés françaises, la société Piaggio a assigné les deux sociétés en contrefaçons de droit d'auteur et en concurrence déloyale et parasitaire sur son célèbre modèle de la Vespa 150 GS, conçu en 1954.Les deux sociétés défenderesses soulèvent devant le Juge de la mise en état, l'irrecevabilité des demandes de la société Piaggio, en soutenant que la société Piaggio ne bénéficie pas de la présomption de titularité sur le modèle de Vespa, en ce qu'elle n'établit pas de "chaîne de droits et ne justifie pas d'actes d'exploitation en France de la Vespa 150 GS".Le Juge de la mise en état de la 3e chambre du Tribunal judiciaire de Paris, compétent pour apprécier la recevabilité des demandes avant tout débat au fond, par ordonnance du 24 octobre 2024, écarte l'argument des défenderesses.

En Côte d'Ivoire, premier producteur mondial d'anacarde, les acteurs de cette filière tirent un bilan positif à mi-parcours de la campagne de commercialisation. Sur les 1,150 million de tonnes de noix brutes produites cette année, restent 250 000 tonnes à écouler sur les marchés. Priorité aux transformateurs locauxPremier signe positif : dès le début de la campagne en janvier, le prix bord champ de la noix brute de cajou a été rehaussé : il est passé de 275 à 425 FCFA/kg. De quoi valoriser les paysans qui, cette année, ont vu leur production augmenter de 20 %. Selon les projections du ministère de l'Agriculture de Côte d'Ivoire, la production devrait s'établir à un peu plus d'un million de tonnes de noix brute. 900 000 tonnes ont déjà été achetées auprès des producteurs.Par ailleurs, du 18 janvier au 15 mars, le marché a été ouvert en priorité aux transformateurs locaux. « Cela nous a permis d'avoir accès à une noix de bonne qualité et d'éviter la concurrence avec les exportateurs internationaux », commente un entrepreneur. En tout, 36 usines en activité ont pu être approvisionnées. Elles ont pu absorber près de 600 000 tonnes de noix brute.L'impact des tarifs douaniers américainsSeule ombre au tableau, les nouveaux tarifs douaniers imposés par les États-Unis, révisés à la hausse et que Washington a temporairement suspendu. « Les opérateurs au Vietnam [taxés à près de 47 %, NDLR] sont inquiets, cela a ralenti les choses », affirme Kobénan Kouassi Adjoumani, le ministre ivoirien de l'Agriculture. En clair, il y a moins d'engouement autour des ventes.  Car une grosse partie de la production est achetée par le Vietnam, qui exporte ensuite l'amande de cajou vers les États-Unis. Face à la retenue des acheteurs, locaux, comme internationaux, les producteurs bradent leur noix brute. « La situation est bloquée », peste un producteur, qui regrette le non-respect des prix officiels, ces deux dernières semaines. « Des solutions vont bientôt être prises », assure le ministre ivoirien de l'Agriculture, qui demande aux paysans d'être patients. De son côté, pour faire respecter le prix plancher, le Conseil Coton Anacarde organise des ventes groupées dans les zones dans lesquelles les acheteurs se font rares.  À lire aussiLa Côte d'Ivoire cherche à doper la transformation locale de noix de cajou

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, has announced a multi-annual 'Accelerating Research to Commercialisation' (ARC) Hub investment programme to fast-track the commercial potential of scientific research across Ireland. The new programme establishes two new Research Ireland ARC Hubs - the ARC Hub for Therapeutics and the ARC Hub for ICT. With funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Government of Ireland, the two hubs have been awarded a combined budget of €63.84 million. Speaking at the announcement, Minister Lawless said: "The Research Ireland ARC Hubs for Therapeutics and ICT represent a new model for regional innovation and entrepreneurial training that will catalyse a step-change in the translation of cutting-edge, publicly-funded research towards impact at a regional level. The ARC Hubs will enhance and accelerate the commercialisation of research to create new products, processes and services." Welcoming the announcement, Research Ireland's Interim CEO, Celine Fitzgerald, commented: "The Research Ireland ARC Hub Programme is a game changer in terms of driving regional development through commercialisation of research. The two ARC Hubs unveiled today, Therapeutics and ICT respectively, will create regional entrepreneurial ecosystems in two critically important sectors for the Irish economy. Accelerating the overall journey to impact will be achieved by enabling researchers with novel ideas to become future entrepreneurs, with the Hubs providing an integrated approach to research funding, entrepreneurial training and access to networks and supports." The ARC Hubs are co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the Southern, Eastern and Midland Regional Programme 2021-2027, one of two ERDF programmes in Ireland. The ERDF aims to promote economic, social and territorial cohesion across all European regions. Maciej Berestecki, European Commission Spokesperson, commented: "The European Commission welcomes this strategic investment to be co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The ARC Hubs offer an integrated approach which will not only accelerate the commercialisation of research but also improve regional competitiveness. By embedding entrepreneurial approaches into the research and innovation ecosystem, groundbreaking ideas can be developed and lead to tangible economic and societal benefits for all regions across Ireland."

Au Nigeria, le gouvernement a approuvé la commercialisation de variétés OGM de maïs, niébé, coton et soja en janvier dernier, mais leur culture démarre timidement. La technologie transgénique est concédée sous licence libre de droits par Bayer (détenteur de Monsanto) à l'Institut de recherche agricole de l'Université de Zaria. Celle-ci vend des semences de maïs, conçues pour résister à la fois à la sécheresse et aux infestations d'insectes. Exemple sur la première récolte de maïs OGM d'un agriculteur à Suleja, dans le centre du Nigeria. De notre envoyé spécial à Suleja,Baba Yola observe ses ouvriers agricoles. C'est la récolte du maïs transgénique, semée en juin dernier par cet agriculteur. C'est la première fois que Baba Yola cultive des OGM. Il scrute chaque geste pour éviter les pertes. Car investir dans le transgénique coûte cher. « J'ai acheté 20 kg de maïs Tela pour 86 000 nairas, explique-t-il. Vingt kilos de semences traditionnelles, cela doit valoir entre 28 000 et 30 000 nairas. Je ne sais pas comment ils peuvent rendre abordable le maïs OGM pour que tous les agriculteurs puissent y avoir accès. Le maïs Tela est en vente même s'il est difficile à trouver. Si vous ne le commandez pas, vous ne l'obtiendrez pas à temps. »Pas de stratégie commerciale définieBaba Yola a acheté ses semences auprès de l'Institut de recherche agricole (IRA) de l'Université de Zaria, dans le centre nord du Nigeria. Créé en 1922, cet institut a notamment pour mandat l'amélioration génétique du maïs, du niébé, du sorgho ou encore du coton.« Cette année, nous commençons avec trois tonnes de maïs TELA, précise son directeur, le professeur Ado Yusuf, qui supervise en personne la distribution du maïs transgénique. D'autres semenciers privés enregistrés en reçoivent également et les vendent. Mais pour l'instant, de notre côté, il n'y a pas de stratégie commerciale définie. Les semences sont disponibles ici. Vous frappez à la porte de notre institut de recherche, nous vous distribuons les graines. Nous n'avons pas l'intention d'avoir de succursales dans tout le pays. »« Avec les OGM, les agriculteurs deviennent dépendants des distributeurs »Le Nigeria est l'un des sept pays africains impliqués dans le projet TELA Maize. Un partenariat public-privé, où la multinationale Bayer Cropscience (anciennement Monsanto) permet l'utilisation gratuite de sa technologie transgénique.Mais des voix s'inquiètent de la commercialisation des OGM au Nigeria. « Avec les OGM, les agriculteurs deviennent dépendants des distributeurs, des fabricants de semences ou des sociétés de biotechnologie, année après année, pour obtenir des semences, s'inquiète Joyce Brown, d'une Fondation intitulée Health of Mother Earth Foundation (HOMEF). Parce que la plupart de ces semences transgéniques sont conçues pour ne pas bien produire après la première saison de plantation. L'objectif étant de faire du profit, pas nécessairement de lutter contre la faim ou l'insécurité alimentaire. »De son côté, Baba Yola se dit prêt à racheter des semences transgéniques pour l'an prochain. Il a subi moins de pertes que d'habitude, mais la céréale, destinée à l'alimentation humaine, n'a pas tout à fait le même goût, alors il se prononcera en fonction des résultats des ventes de son maïs.

The government of Malaysia has set a target of making Malaysia a regional hub for startups by 2025. As of 2022, there were approximately 3,000 active startups in Malaysia, a stark increase from around 300 in 2013. However, whilst 30% of Malaysian startups have displayed consistent growth and profitability, about 1,800 startups struggle, with a 60% failure rate, especially within the first three years. The failure is majorly attributed to lack of market need affecting 42% or approximately 756 startups.

Once seen as an indomitable challenge, Mount Everest has become increasingly commercialised.   It's become a tourist industry, with queues of climbers all waiting to take their photos at the top, paying anywhere between US$65,000 and US$200,000, the VIP experience coming with a higher price tag.  Journalist and author Will Cockrell has been climbing mountains for over 30 years and has explored the commercialisation of Mount Everest in his new book ‘Everest Inc: The Renegades and Rogues Who Built an Industry at the Top of the World'.   He joined Jack Tame to dig into the industry surrounding one of the most iconic mountains in the world.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition, an intensive 4-week accelerator programme for student entrepreneurs, which is now in its 10th year, has commenced at University College Dublin (UCD) with 14 early-stage ventures and 27 participating students. The participating ventures are focused on a wide range of business ideas ranging from aircraft maintenance to sustainable fashion to digital health, and legal services. A €3k Tech Sustainability Prize sponsored by Terra Solar and a €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize are available to the winners of this year's competition. The accelerator programme is run by NovaUCD, the innovation and start-up hub at UCD, as a framework to support undergraduate and postgraduate students who want to work together to develop and grow start-up companies. The aim of the competition is to assist the participating students in refining their start-up ideas through a series of structured workshops, including taught content from industry experts, interactive workshops, regular mentoring and pitching sessions. Tom Flanagan, Director of Enterprise and Commercialisation, NovaUCD said, "Over the next few weeks we will be supporting the participating student entrepreneurs as they begin the process of accelerating the translation of their business ideas and concepts into start-ups. A key objective of this annual competition is to provide students with the skills, the confidence and the opportunity to further develop their ideas and to hopefully in time launch their start-ups on a national and even an international stage." The 4-week programme, which uses the Lean Startup and Business Model Canvas approach, includes a series of structured workshops and interactive workshops delivered by Raomal Perera, Caitlin Hafer and Nirisha Manandhar from Lean Disruptor. Topics such as, customer development; value proposition; working in teams; design thinking; prototyping, environment mapping; financial planning and effective fundraising and pitching, will be covered. This year two new components have been introduced to the programme. The first is focused on supporting the students to think about how they can create AI powered start-ups, what are the tools and opportunities to leverage generative AI, not only in their products or services, but also in their business operations. The second is to provide 'checkpoints' as the students develop their business ideas where they can reflect on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and how best to align their emerging start-ups with these goals. At a final workshop, to be held in late-June, the participating ventures will pitch to a judging panel. Based on the evaluation of the presentations two winners will be selected, one will be awarded the €3k Tech Sustainability Prize sponsored by Terra Solar and other will be awarded the €3k NovaUCD One to Watch Prize. Over 70 early-stage ventures and some 170 students have completed the NovaUCD Student Enterprise Competition to date. Among the entrepreneurs who previously took part in the competition is Charlie Gleeson, who completed the competition in 2019 with an e-scooter business idea, which became Zipp Mobility. The company which he grew to launch e-scooter and e-bike services in locations across Ireland, the UK and Poland was acquired by ZEUS Scooters in 2023. Charlie is currently General Manager, FreeNow, Ireland. Seventeen (17) postgraduate and ten (10) undergraduate students are participating on this year's programme. Many of the students completed NovaUCD's new entrepreneurship initiative, called Nova Vision, which took place earlier this year. The key goal of Nova Vision is to nurture sustainability and technology, in alignment with the UN's SDGs, and to empower students to contribute to positive global change through entrepreneurial activities.

Ireland's first all-island summit for women who founded their own businesses takes place in Co Fermanagh on May 20th-21st. 'SheVentures' will pull together over 200 women founders, investors, entrepreneurs, and their supporters in Ireland, say Awaken Hub, the organisers of the event. The summit offers "unparalleled access to inspiring Irish and international women leaders, including some who have never spoken at an Irish event before," says Awaken Hub chairperson, Mary McKenna. Speakers include Silicon Valley's Ann Hiatt who worked directly for Amazon's Jeff Bezos; Lorna Conn, CEO of Cpl, and entrepreneurs' champion; and Samantha Barry, Global Editorial Director for the Americas at Glamour magazine. Women Founders Summit Mary McKenna says SheVentures offers an "opportunity to hang-out with your tribe of women founders and investors in a friendly and informal setting for a couple of days. But get yourself investor-ready," she advises. "You might even bag an angel investor or two!" The summit is being held in the breathtaking and cosy location of Lusty Beg Island, Fermanagh. Sponsored cabins on the premises will offer Master Classes and discussions on challenging themes like Investment, Sustainability, US Market Entry, Sales, Storytelling and Marketing, and Commercialisation. McKenna says these are an ideal chance to learn from experts at first hand. "She Ventures is not just about offering great speakers. It's about giving participants access to these speakers and experts for informal chats and discussions throughout the two days. It's also about extending women founders' networks of key players, contacts, and investors as they grow their business." The summit is being supported and sponsored by the Shared Island Initiative. Tánaiste Micheál Martin said he was delighted that the Shared Island Civic Society Fund has been able to support the work of Awaken Hub and the SheVentures summit. "The Shared Island Civic Society Fund aims to promote practical cooperation and interaction in civic society on this island and the SheVentures summit is a stellar example of the Fund supporting people to come together and make real connections." The 2-day event is being MC'd by BBC and TG4 presenter Lynette Fay, and other contributors lined up to take part include the Positive Economist Susan Hayes Culleton, and US and global expert on women's access to networks and Venture Capital, Kelly Hoey. There's accommodation on and off the island and boat/bus transport to shuttle participants back and forth. The summit starts at 9AM on Monday 20th, closing at 4PM on Tuesday 21st. You can book tickets online at: http://sheventures.co.uk About AwakenHub Founded in 2020, AwakenHub is a social enterprise dedicated to removing barriers for women founders across the island of Ireland.

University College Dublin (UCD) today announced that applications are now open for a new food and agriculture innovation and entrepreneurship training programme, commencing this September, to be delivered by the University in partnership with Teagasc. There are only fifteen (15) places available on the 12-month, in-person Food and Agriculture Sustainable Technology Innovation Programme (FAST-IP), which is aimed at mid-career professionals. FAST-IP will provide participants with a €38,000 tax-free scholarship during the programme. The goal of FAST-IP is to further enhance innovation in the food and agricultural sector by providing programme participants with the necessary skills to evaluate, select and validate ideas for new products and services and to accelerate the commercialisation pathway. FAST-IP will use design-thinking methodologies and will have a practical focus. Through the programme, participants will learn how to conduct needs-led innovation to develop market-validated solutions to unmet needs in the areas of agricultural technology and food sustainability sectors. Participants will also spend 8-10 weeks immersed in agricultural environments including farms and food processing companies throughout the year long programme. FAST-IP is accredited by UCD at Level 9 on the National Qualifications Framework and participants who complete the programme will be awarded a Graduate Diploma in Agricultural Innovation and Entrepreneurship. FAST-IP will be delivered by the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, in partnership with Teagasc, at the newly opened AgTechUCD Innovation Centre at UCD Lyons Farm in Co. Kildare. Professor Nick Holden, Professor of Biosystems Engineering in the UCD School of Biosystems and Food Engineering, is the Academic Director of the Graduate Diploma Programme. Gary Ryan, Director, AgTechUCD, said, "The success of FAST-IP will depend to a great extent on attracting the right mix of high calibre individuals to the programme. FAST-IP is designed to cater for mid-career individuals who have accumulated significant professional experience to date and who are now interested in pivoting towards an entrepreneurial journey based on the development of an innovative technology that will support sustainable practices in the agricultural and food sectors. A fundamental underpinning of the programme is that participants will come to it with an open mind as to potential innovations and without any preconceived biases towards an existing idea that they might like to explore. The programme is based around discovering real world needs through exposure to industry environments in the agfood supply chain and bringing innovative solutions to bear on such needs in a commercially viable manner." He added, "I would encourage anybody meeting the programme criteria and with an interest in building a business that will deliver innovative solutions in support of sustainable agri and food sectors to engage with the process as early as possible. Interest is already high and is likely to build even further in the coming weeks." Dr Siobhán Jordan, Head of Technology Transfer and Commercialisation, Teagasc, said, "Enhancing entrepreneurship and innovation in the food and agricultural sector to deliver impacts nationally and globally requires multi-disciplinary approaches from engineering to marketing from food science to ICT. The FAST-IP programme delivered by UCD and Teagasc will enable participants to deliver new solutions for the longer term sustainability of the agri-food sector." UCD and Teagasc, with strong reputations for academic and research excellence in the areas of Sustainable Food Systems, Agriculture, and Food Science, will utilise their extensive networks, connections, domain expertise, entrepreneurial experience, and track-record for supporting, fostering and spinning out start-ups over the next 6 years of the programme. The AgTechUCD Innovation Centre, which is part of NovaUCD, is focused on promoting an...

A pioneering day for professional women's basketball in this country. Player wages in the five-team Tauihi league will double this season - meaning female players will earn more than their male counterparts. The season is also shifting from a July to an October start, with international expansion likely next year. Sky Sport head of commercialisation Justin Nelson says the league has attracted a good range of corporate partners to fund this pay increase. "This is a competition that started a couple of years ago, with some fantastic corporate partners coming on board- G.J. Gardner Homes, a few others through that growth period - they're coming back."

Dara Calleary TD, Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, has today announced a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerator programme for start-ups at University College Dublin (UCD). The 6-month AI Ecosystem Accelerator, which begins in April, will be delivered by NovaUCD, the university's hub of innovation and start-up activities, in partnership with CeADAR, Ireland's National Centre for Applied AI. The focus of the new accelerator programme is to support entrepreneurs who are developing disruptive AI solutions in sectors including, healthcare, cybersecurity, education, sustainability, finance, content creation, supply chain and customer service, for a global market. The programme is being funded through the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) framework, a Europe-wide initiative with funding of €700 million from both the European Commission and the Governments of member states. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, through Enterprise Ireland, is leading on the EDIH programme for Ireland and CeADAR has been designated as the European Digital Innovation Hub in AI for Ireland. Targeted supports for participants on the AI Ecosystem Accelerator include a dedicated commercial mentor and workshops on value proposition, route to market, sales strategies and securing investment. Participants will have access to co-working space at NovaUCD and access to the NovaUCD community of founders, investors, business partners and student interns. Participants will also have access to CeADAR's EDIH services which include AI technologies, and research expertise with technical mentorship. Applications are open for the programme via https://www.ucd.ie/innovation/aiecosystem/ Announcing the AI Ecosystem Accelerator, Minister Calleary TD said, "There is no doubt Ireland's entrepreneurs and founders have the talent, the creativity, and the drive to seize the opportunities of AI to improve the way we all live and work. Sitting at the crossroads of higher education, industry, and research, the AI Ecosystem Accelerator programme aims to support AI start-ups grow through dedicated technical and commercial supports. I am delighted that funding is in place to support the acceleration of enterprises in this space, which is key element in our National AI Strategy "AI - Here for Good". My ambition is for Ireland to become a leading country in using AI to the benefit of our citizens, through a people centred and ethical approach to AI adoption and use. I encourage all interested AI start-ups to consider applying and be part of Ireland's AI ambitions." Marina Donohoe, Head of Research and Innovation, Enterprise Ireland, said, "The adoption and deployment of AI technologies is critical to driving the competitiveness and innovation of Irish businesses in international markets. Many AI-driven Irish businesses are scaling globally, with a number of excellent start-ups following in their tracks. Enterprise Ireland sees a major opportunity for Irish entrepreneurs to take the lead in this ever-changing field. The new AI Ecosystem Accelerator programme, funded through the EDIH programme managed by Enterprise Ireland, will be delivered by NovaUCD in partnership with CeADAR, and will nurture cutting-edge AI solutions and provide strategic support to help AI-driven businesses thrive in a global market." Since opening in 2003 NovaUCD has developed a strong track record and has supported 550+ start-ups and early-stage ventures through the services it provides, and through business support programmes run and managed by NovaUCD.
