Introduction
    Julie Sinnamon,
    Chief Executive Officer, Enterprise Ireland

    Start-ups are the heart-beat of the Irish economy, an essential component to
    every developed economy and a powerful engine of job creation in towns and
    villages all over Ireland. They are key to Ireland’s continued economic success.

    We commend the entrepreneurs behind the Start-Up Class of 2018 for their
    achievements to date, in establishing their new business, recruiting their teams
    and securing the necessary investment to bring their ideas to fruition in such a
    challenging global economic environment.

    During 2018, Enterprise Ireland developed a new way of working with fledgling
    companies, meeting their global ambitions and placing them on faster growth
    trajectories.

    We were pleased to invest in 132 start-up teams, backing their ideas. We
    invested over €23m to help them achieve their international growth ambitions.
    48.5% of our investments were in start-ups outside of Dublin, delivering
    country-wide spread of investment in 2018.

       • 82 of the class of 2018 are ‘High Potential Start-Ups’ (HPSU). This title
         represents their ambitious export growth projections and stage of
         development.

       • A further 50 new businesses received our ‘Competitive Start Funds’
         (CSFs) having successfully competed against 600 applicants.

       • There were 28 female led start-ups which received investment.

       • An additional 26 HPSUs received follow-on investment funding as their
         businesses scaled.

    Ireland has a world class start-up ecosystem, where businesses big and small
    work side by side, fuelled by an exceptional higher education sector, providing
    the talent for its innovation economy. Enterprise Ireland has put in place a range
    of supports such as the HPSU Founders Forum to assist ambitious entrepreneurs
    to realise their dreams. These supports represent a major commitment by the
    Irish government to supporting innovative start-ups here.

    Access to appropriate and adequate capital to fund start-ups is essential and
    during 2018 Enterprise Ireland worked closely with partners and stakeholders to

2   Start-Up Showcase 2019
START-UP SHOWCASE 2019 - #GLOBALAMBITION - ENTERPRISE IRELAND
optimise their participation in the start-up sector. The Irish start-up ecosystem
has been transformed in recent years into a vibrant and dynamic network
supported by our key partners and stakeholders across the Local Enterprise
Offices (LEOs), EU-Business Innovation Centres (EU-BICs) and Halo Business
Angel Network (HBAN).

Today’s start-ups have the potential to be tomorrow’s multinationals. While
they start small, their products & services demonstrate increasing depths of
innovation and excellence, generating demand across the world for a new brand
of Irish innovation.

We look forward to continuing to support the Class of 2018 as they build the
scale of their businesses and expand their reach in diversified markets. They
join the many talented, creative and ambitious entrepreneurs that, over the
years have been profiled at Enterprise Ireland Start-Up Showcase events. Many
have grown into international companies of real scale - companies like Crowley
Carbon, Co. Wicklow, Chanelle Group, Galway, and Combilift, Co. Monaghan
all of which announced major job expansions during 2018.

Enterprise Ireland is backing entrepreneurs with big ideas, with ambition to
grow their businesses in international markets. We look forward to being part
of the future success stories of the ‘Start-up Class of 2018’.
