Our Mission
We believe Ireland has the potential to become a thriving hub for hardware innovation in Europe. While still in the early days, our goal is to build a meaningful space and support early stage founders with key challenges like:
- Limited access to essential prototyping tools like 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters.
- High manufacturing costs and lack of flexible production options within Ireland.
- Insufficient mentorship from experienced hardware entrepreneurs.
- Lack of practical resources for young innovators to develop their hardware ideas.

What People Say
We need this - jesus
Ireland lacks 'certain other pieces of important infrastructure,' Walsh says. One thing he'd love to see is shared hardware labs — places where founders could go to access expensive kit like lasers and cutting machines. “That’s a big hold-back,” Walsh says.
