Enterprise Ireland has introduced the Startup Ireland AI Accelerator Programme, marking the first specialised accelerator under its €21 million National Accelerator Programme. This initiative aims to propel AI startups by offering unparalleled access to technology, mentorship, and global markets.
The accelerator brings together over 30 partners, including tech giants such as Analog Devices, Anthropic, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Stripe, alongside investors and ecosystem collaborators. Delivered by Dogpatch Labs, the programme will provide ten selected startups with 12 weeks of intensive support, including weekly one-to-one engineering guidance and potential access to over €1 million in technology and cloud credits.
A notable feature of the programme is a two-day international visit to Paris, a key European AI hub, where participants will engage with investors, customers, and fellow AI founders at the F/ai Deal Day hosted at STATION F. Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland will also facilitate connections with multinational companies in Ireland and abroad, fostering opportunities for commercial partnerships and technical expertise. This initiative underscores Ireland’s commitment to positioning itself as a globally connected innovation hub in AI technology.
