Tyndall is also bidding to host Science Foundation Ireland’s ARC hub. The goal of the SFI ARC Hub Programme is to establish a new model for regional innovation and entrepreneurial training, that will catalyse a step-change in the translation of cutting-edge publicly funded research toward impact at a regional level. The SFI ARC Hub Programme will enhance and accelerate the commercialisation of research to create new products, processes, and services. The realisation of the programme will be through the establishment of a regional SFI ARC Hub focused on specific thematic areas that will be aligned with the respective regional strategic priorities and the ‘National Smart Speciali sation Strategy for Innovation 2022- 2027’ (S3). If Tyndall is successful, The SFI ARC Hub, will create a regional ecosystem focused on optimising research translation and training future entrepreneurs through establishing new academic networks and bringing together stakeholders, while leveraging existing supports, as appropriate. It is expected that SFI ARC Hub will foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship supported by processes that will operationalise and scale opportunity realisation to deliver transformative new products, processes, and services to market.
