Wood Quay VenueWood Quay, Dublin
ENFUSE:
ENFUSE matches local enterprises and social enterprises with teams of master's level university and college students. During semester 2 (January-May) as part of a module, students work in teams typically of 4-6 members with selected enterprises. The students provide insights, propose solutions and ultimately present a bespoke and tangible plan that sets out how the enterprise can innovate, address challenges and develop opportunities. Student teams present their plan to both the enterprise and their module lecturer for assessment.
ENFUSE Finals:
The ENFUSE Finals is a special event where the top student teams from the annual programme compete. This year, enterprises were matched with a student team from either Technological University Dublin (TUD), Dublin City University (DCU), National College of Art and Design (NCAD), University College Dublin (UCD) or Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
The top ENFUSE student teams are shortlisted by each university / college. From this list, 7 teams are selected to pitch live at the ENFUSE Finals. The finalist teams will represent their university / college, lecturer and enterprise, and will compete by pitching to expert judges on the plan they produced for their allocated enterprise.
