CEED
Description
CEED plays a key role on fostering and developing the entrepreneurial mindset as part of the innovative ecosystem in the Institute of Technology Tralee. The Centre for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development (CEED) located in the Tom Crean Business Incubation Centre, plays a key role in fostering and developing the entrepreneurial mindset as part of the innovative ecosystem of the Institute of Technology Tralee. We practice and promote a strategic policy of seamless integration and real time engagement between business and social communities, academics and students offering strategic support and intervention with their business ideas and knowledge transfer. We aim to become an international model of best practice which researches and cultivates the entrepreneurial mind-set through our philosophy of collaboration, inclusion and innovation with the wider business and academic communities.
We have a particular focus on research into entrepreneurial learning, incubation and new venture creation and sustainability. It brings together academics, spinout enterprises, student entrepreneurs, start-up businesses and researchers for the study and practice of innovation, entrepreneurship and enterprise. Collaboration with the other 4 research centres at the Institute, provides us with the unique opportunity of positioning ourselves as a centre with a cutting edge entrepreneurial insight and approach in all of our activities.
