REPUBLIC OF WORK TO CONNECT ENTREPRENEURS WITH NEW INNOVATIONS THROUGH DEEPTECH FEST IRELAND

Republic of Work, a dynamic innovation hub and co-working space in Cork City, will host Deeptech Fest Ireland later this month, in what promises to be a unique and exciting networking opportunity for entrepreneurs in this space. 

The goal of this event is to help map out and develop opportunities for Deeptech investment both here and in the wider EU. The aim is to bring about better market access, business development activities, and access to funding.

Deeptech represents a new wave of rapidly evolving and converging technologies that are set to redefine innovation. Encompassing a range of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), synthetic biology, nanotechnologies, and quantum computing, these technologies are here to solve some of the biggest current global challenges. Spin-outs, startups, and research and education institutions play an integral role in the Deeptech ecosystem.

Attendees of Deeptech Fest Ireland in Republic of Work will have the opportunity to join keynote talks, fireside chats and panel discussions. There will also be live-pitch battles and other networking opportunities. 

Programme Manager at Republic of Work, Eshna Gogia says it’s hugely exciting to be hosting Deeptech Fest Ireland in Cork: “Deeptech is more than just developing new technologies or achieving scientific breakthroughs. It’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible and solving some of the most pressing challenges facing us today. From gene therapies to cancer treatments, from storing data on DNA to creating smart materials without harming animals, there are countless examples of how Deeptech can revolutionise our world.  To achieve these breakthroughs, it takes cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a bold imagination. Fortunately, Ireland has all the ingredients necessary to unlock the full potential of Deeptech. With world-class research institutions, access to funding, and a talented workforce, Ireland is well-positioned to lead the way in Deeptech innovation.”

Republic of Work is partnering with one of its members SOSV to host the event on March 27th. John O’Brien, Director of Global IT, SOSV says: “We are delighted to be taking part in Deeptech Fest Ireland. At SOSV, we are passionate about human and planetary health and see this event as a fantastic opportunity to connect, collaborate and to share our global experience with others in the area.”
