Industry @ Invent

Invent acts as a bridge between DCU researchers and the world of industry, bringing to market diverse technologies in areas such as the natural sciences, engineering and ICT. When a new industrial partner engages with Invent they are assigned a dedicated relationship manager who is responsible for understanding the partner’s strategic research imperatives, in order to develop a collaboration framework that helps achieve their long-term product development goals.

While many of our technologies are early stage and require additional co-development we have considerable expertise leveraging sponsored programmes to help our partners navigate the challenges of early stage productisation in the shortest period possible.

Over the years Invent DCU has worked with a significant number of indigenous Irish companies along with an impressive group of multinational corporations including Bristol-Myers-Squibb, IBM, Microsoft, Symantec and Wyeth.
