SME Internationalization: The where and how?

UCC Innovation will host the second InterTradeIreland All Island Innovation masterclasses in the UCC Creative Zone, Boole Library, Main Campus on October 11th fro 8.30am to 12.30pm. 
 
The masterclass event is entitled “SME Internationalization: The where and how” and will be delivered by Dr. Breda Kenny.  In addition to this masterclass, we will also launch the All Island Open Innovation Platform which has been developed to support the industrial community engage in inter-organizational collaboration and synergistic innovation. 

ABOUT THE EVENT


The All-Island Innovation Programme is an InterTradeIreland funded programme established to promote and encourage innovation across the island.  For our second master class of the current three-year programme and given the approaching March 2019 deadline, we have decided to hold a BREXIT focused event.

This event will take place in the UCC Library Creative Zone on Thursday October 11th 2018 (8.30 am -12.30 pm), comprising of three interrelated sessions as detailed below in the schedule. 

The morning will open with a discussion from InterTradeIreland of practical strategies that SME's can adopt in Getting BREXIT Ready and provide information on their SME grant scheme to assist planning and development of an action plan.  This will be followed by our academic masterclass where Dr. Breda Kenny of CIT's Department of Management & Enterprise and Board member of the European Council for Small Business & Entrepreneurship will deliver a session entitled "SME challenges when internationalizing: The where and how?".  

The third and final part of the event will introduce attendees to the All Island Open Innovation Platform (AIOIP) which has been developed to nurture inter-organizational collaborative innovation and enhancement of the innovation ecosystem (both regionally and at an All Island level).  Given the potential turbulence of BREXIT for all industry, but especially the SME sector, we hope that these sessions will be of assistance in helping you explore options for your company and plan for the future.
