Student founders from across Europe will gather at TU Dublin this July to showcase innovative ideas, build international connections and celebrate entrepreneurship.
TU Dublin will host the EUt+ Entrepreneurship Incubators & Pitch Showcase 2026 on 2 July, welcoming some of Europe's most promising student entrepreneurs to its Grangegorman campus.
Taking place as part of EUt+ Week 2026 and during Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the event will bring together finalist teams from across the European University of Technology (EUt+) alliance to present innovative ventures developed through a collaborative entrepreneurship incubation programme.
Students from universities in Ireland, Cyprus, Latvia, Spain, Romania, France, Bulgaria and Italy have spent recent months refining their ideas through mentoring, international collaboration and enterprise development activities. The programme will culminate in a live pitch showcase where participants will present their ventures to an audience of entrepreneurs, industry leaders, academics and innovation experts.
More than a competition, the showcase celebrates the power of collaboration across borders and highlights the important role universities play in nurturing future innovators, founders and changemakers.
Dr Dympna O’Sullivan, VP Research & Innovation, TU Dublin, said:
"Entrepreneurship has the power to transform ideas into impact. This showcase celebrates the creativity, ambition and ingenuity of students who are already developing solutions to some of society's most pressing challenges."
As Ireland's leading enterprise-focused university, TU Dublin is committed to supporting innovation and entrepreneurship through its student accelerator programmes, business incubators and extensive industry partnerships. Hosting the EUt+ showcase reflects the University's ongoing commitment to helping students develop the skills, networks and confidence needed to turn ideas into reality.
The event also showcases the strength of the EUt+ alliance, which connects universities across Europe to advance education, research, innovation and societal impact through deeper international collaboration.
TU Dublin looks forward to welcoming students, staff, mentors and enterprise leaders from across Europe for an inspiring celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship and European partnership.
