Global Business Incubation Day
The LINC works with other enterprise centres in the Fingal region to celebrate the international day of incubation. In December 2008 the LINC hosted the day with a breakfast seminar which was launched by Brody Sweeney, followed by a Q&A session with a panel including Enterprise Ireland, Brody Sweeney and Ken Germaine (CEO, BASE Enterprise Centre, Mulhunddart). This was then followed by an Open Day in all the Enterprise Centres in the Fingal County.
Student Enterprise Competitions
ITB students have taken part in many enterprise competitions over the years including Enterprise Ireland Student Enterprise Awards and the Newstalk Student Enterprise Competition. These competitions are supported through the LINC and the School of Business.
Consultancy work
ITB carries out consultancy work for Industry on initiatives such as the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Vouchers.
