Since 2005, the Innovation Hubs (iHubs) at ATU Galway City and Mayo have
assisted entrepreneurs to develop and bring their business ideas to the
marketplace. Designed to play a strategic role in the development of the West
region, the iHubs help drive the enterprise model of market-led and knowledge-
based industry development.

A critical goal of the iHubs is the number of successful Start-Up companies
that emerge from the Incubation pipeline. These new companies will have
survived the early stages of growth and become independent standalone entities
which have successfully developed new products or services for global markets.

To date we have:
• nurtured 750+ directly supported jobs
• hosted 39 high growth start-ups companies
• won €170M in investment funding by our client companies
• celebrated 7 company acquisitions
• conducted in excess of €1.7 Million in collaborative research with our
members
• transitioned 45 successful companies
• helped build resilient companies with 76% of all our member companies still
in business after 7 years.
