All-Island Innovation Programme
Commencing in late 2008, InterTradeIreland are funding an All-Island Innovation Programme which is a programme being jointly run by InterTradeIreland, Queens University Belfast, NUI Galway and University College Dublin.
This initiative will:-
- increase the levels of awareness and knowledge of innovation and commercialisation activity in Ireland through the programmes of lectures, master classes and the publication of the lectures and research outputs of the community of researchers;
- assist in the development of an all-island innovation system - an aspiration of policy makers in Ireland, and particularly set out in the Strategy of Science Technology and Innovation and the Northern Ireland Regional Innovation Strategy;
- drive global competitiveness by stimulating greater levels of innovation within the private, public and academic sectors in Ireland, contributing to the aspiration to make Ireland an 'innovation leader' rather than an 'innovation follower'; and
- it will create the initial structure for an Irish Innovation Institute to drive the innovation research agenda.
