The official launch in Clare and Limerick was announced at an event in Engine in Limerick City last Friday (June 21st).
AxisBIC CEO Larry O’Donoghue commented, “AxisBIC has worked with start-ups in Clare and Limerick, but this is the first time that we will have dedicated BIC resources on the ground in this region. Today’s launch event reflects our vision to unlock the potential within our region, empowering high-growth innovators to drive positive impact. With this expansion, we look forward to developing many successful high-potential startups and growing our partnerships into the future.”
The event in Limerick was also an opportunity to showcase some of the High Growth Startups that AxisBIC has worked with as part of the Growth Pathway programme.
Brian Crowley founder of TTM Healthcare Group said; “It can be extremely daunting for anyone starting out in business as they attempt to develop their idea into a thriving company. There are so many obstacles to overcome and it’s important to have support from people such as the team at AxisBIC who can help entrepreneurs as they navigate their journey to success.”

There is a wealth of ideas in this region and AxisBIC will continue to develop and nurture these to become successful businesses of the future.”
