ADT4Blue Entrepreneurship Showcase - ENTREPRENEURSHIP HUB

To effectively support student entrepreneurship in today’s rapidly evolving world, universities must go beyond traditional academic models. Entrepreneurial success depends on fostering experiential learning, incubation support, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and policy-driven engagement. Research increasingly emphasises the importance of not only teaching business skills, but also cultivating entrepreneurial mindsets, characterised by resilience, adaptability, sustainability, and a global outlook.

ADT4Blue is committed to empowering future entrepreneurs with the tools and support they need to thrive. The project offers cutting-edge training, tailored mentorship, networking and pitching events, and access to an extensive partner network, addressing the real-world challenges faced by emerging founders.

As a complement to this effort, and informed by entrepreneurship research and a targeted survey on what entrepreneurs truly need, the University of Galway has launched this dedicated hub to bridge the gap between research and entrepreneurial action.

Designed for students, alumni, and early-stage innovators, the hub offers curated resources, strategic partnerships, and transformative learning opportunities, empowering the next generation to build resilient, impactful ventures.

Partnering with educators to bring ADT4Blue’s real-world challenges into the classroom, connecting learning with industry needs and helping students gain hands-on, real-world experience.
