The Rubicon Centre at Munster Technological University (MTU) is celebrating 20 years of fostering Cork's entrepreneurial ecosystem. Over 500 start-ups have been nurtured, with more than €160m raised in public and private equity for its clients. The milestone was marked at the MTU Arena on September 2nd, attended by alumni, entrepreneurs, and enterprise stakeholders who reflected on the Centre's history and future role.
Established in 2006, the Rubicon Centre aims to encourage, support, and mentor entrepreneurs, high-potential start-ups, and scaling businesses through incubation programmes, mentorship, investment, and industry connections. Fostering job creation and economic growth is a primary goal. Alumni include the founders of Hibra design, a vehicle development company, and Swyft Energy, a solar PV and boiler installation company acquired by Bord Gáis Energy in 2024.
Paul Healy, the manager of the Rubicon Centre, emphasized the Centre's role in helping entrepreneurs navigate the next steps, with a focus on supporting SMEs to scale, grow, and adapt in the future.
