Online applications and pitches are now being accepted from global startups, with the closing date for applicants set at September 16th. Once the applicant’s pitches have been whittled down, second-round regional finals will be held across Ireland, in the days leading up to the Startup Nations Summit. The grand final will be held during the Global Startup Gathering’s programme of events, at a gala dinner in Cork on November 19th. 

Cork Innovates and CorkBIC are delighted to support the Global Investor Challenge and look forward to welcoming global entrepreneurs and startups to Cork later this year.
