Only one person per business can be accepted onto the programme and a maximum of one space per company can be allocated. However, we encourage business partners to participate in events that are organised throughout the year, such as networking meetings. They may also attend relevant workshops by prior arrangement.

There is NO CHARGE to the participants. The programme is funded by South Cork Enterprise Board, Cork County Council and Macroom E.
Confidentiality and Ownership?
Each participant is required to sign an agreement not to disclose details of other participants’ business projects. This agreement also specifies that any discovery or intention remains the property of the participant.
What happens at the end of the programme?
The programme lasts 9 months. Upon completion of the programme in June 2012, participants will have the opportunity to continue working at the centre for a reduced rental fee.
