Structured as a four-year programme, TUS RISE is designed to support the development of innovative, high-value products and services, aligned with regional specialisms, strengths and expertise. It seeks to nurture and support innovative enterprises, elevate the global competitiveness of Irish-based companies, expand export opportunities and ultimately lead to increased revenues and employment across key industry sectors.
Defined by geographical reach and regional composition, bordering almost half of Ireland’s 26 counties. TUS has the potential to transform the availability and accessibility of regional innovation and serves to provide leading research-informed education, regionally relevant and accessible to all.
Delivered through a framework approach, TUS RISE will initiate, cultivate and operationalise targeted industry engagement and innovation services across our four specialist and targeted thematic areas of smart specialisation;
Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering
Biopharma, Life Sciences and Food
ICT and Creative Industries
