ATU Innovation Hubs (iHubs) play an important role in supporting ambitious entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses across the west and northwest. Their work nurturing innovation, supporting founders and helping companies to build strong foundations aligns closely with Platform94’s purpose of supporting ambitious businesses across the region as they progress and accelerate their international scaling journeys.
Marie Donnellan, CEO of Platform94, said: “There is a natural synergy between the regions served by ATU its iHubs and the growing network of scaling companies within our community. Many SCALE members are proud alumni or current members of the ATU iHubs network, making this partnership particularly special. It reflects a long-standing relationship and friendship between our organisations and a shared commitment to strengthening the regional innovation ecosystem. We look forward to working closely with the ATU team to continue supporting ambitious regional businesses as they scale internationally.”
Turlough Rafferty, Manager of ATU iHub Galway, says: “ATU iHubs are proud to support entrepreneurs and innovators across our region, helping them transform ideas into sustainable, high-growth businesses. Partnering with SCALE by Platform94 creates a natural pathway for companies as they move from early-stage development into international scaling. We are delighted to strengthen our long-standing relationship with Platform94 and look forward to working together to support the next generation of regional success stories.”
