The Programme
What is it?
This is not a training programme. Whilst some limited skills-based training is provided the focus of the programme is on providing practical supports to entrepreneurs actually building a company. The programme compels participants to leave their comfort zone and to follow a disciplined structured approach designed for success whilst providing the necessary advice and guidance to support the participant on that journey.
The M50 Enterprise Programme is an innovative enterprise support programme, provided in partnership by four higher education institutions located in the M50 economic corridor. It targets individuals wishing to make the leap from full-time employment or those in the early stages of starting their own high potential knowledge-intensive businesses, and provides them with a range of effective supports over a twelve month period

Incubation Facilities
The programme endeavours to be as responsive to participant needs as possible within the existing financial and physical constraints. Every effort is made to provide a hot-desk in the participant's location of choice IT Tallaght or IT Blanchardstown. All that can be guaranteed however, is a hot desk or shared desk in one of the two campuses.
