All-Island Innovation Programmes
The All-Island Innovation Programmes, supported by Queen’s University Belfast and its academic partners across Ireland, provides a collaborative platform for exploring practical approaches to innovation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Through a dynamic series of seminars and workshops, the programmes bring together business leaders, researchers, and innovation experts to share insights, frameworks, and tools for building innovation capability.
Each in-person or hybrid event offers participants a chance to engage with cutting-edge academic research, real-world case studies, and interactive sessions designed to help SMEs unlock growth through innovation. With themes ranging from strategy and idea generation to collaboration and digital transformation, the programme encourages knowledge exchange and fosters stronger links between academia and the business community across the island.
