Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) – Grangegorman Campus

Greenway Hub 

TU Dublin - New Frontiers Programme locations

Since 1991, TU Dublin’s Greenway Hub has served the needs of Ireland’s emerging entrepreneurs, establishing itself as a leading startup incubator. Notable alumni include Movidius, Mick’s Garage, Smarter Surfaces, Boards.ie, Artomatix and Locatible.

Based in the Greenway Hub in Grangegorman, a short walk from Dublin’s Smithfield area, the newly opened €21 million incubator offers training space, hotdesks, own-door offices and state-of-the-art labs. Following a 10-year redevelopment, the wider Grangegorman site became TU Dublin’s new central campus in 2021. In total, it will host 30,000 students, cost €1 billion and span 75 acres of Dublin city centre.

Since 2012, over 183 companies have completed New Frontiers Phase 2 at the Greenway Hub. These total over 620 jobs, an estimated €33 million in revenue and €25.5 million in equity investment raised. Many have gone on to achieve further high-profile success – achieving Enterprise Ireland HPSU status, or being awarded Competitive Start Fund (CSF) or Horizon 2020 funding. Others have won prestigious global awards from top firms such as Nvidia, PwC & William Fry.

Killian Travers

Programme Administrator – Grangegorman Campus

“"The New Frontiers programme at TU Dublin gave me structure, clarity, and a real method to grow Timbi in a way that actually made sense. As an Italian founder building a company in Ireland, I felt welcomed and supported from day one, which made a huge difference. One challenge from my mentor was to stand on my own and prove traction with real client revenue, so I pushed hard and secured paying clients during the programme. That mix of structure, accountability, and genuine human support helped me become investor-ready and much more confident as a founder. I'd recommend New Frontiers to anyone who wants to grow with both discipline and heart."”

“New Frontiers at TU Dublin provided a structured and safe environment for us to develop, test and challenge our value proposition. This gave us the platform to launch our services internationally.”

Michael O’Dwyer, Evolution Environmental Services Ltd

“When I started, it was just myself and an idea. By the time the programme finished I had a co-founder, a team and a legally incorporated company. One year later, we've raised $350k in funding, won multiple awards, built our first product and we're gaining serious customer traction.”

Eric Risser, Artomatix

“Coming from a multinational environment, New Frontiers at TU Dublin really helped us in accessing the startup community. The programme also forced us to rethink the basic building blocks that are the foundation of every successful business!”
