Previous Deep Dive Weeks
- We’ve brought travel tech and aviation startups from all over Europe to meet some of the industry super stars in Dublin. Take a look at the programme offered by DCU Ryan Academy.
- After Dublin, we were in Lithuania for a full week talking blockchain! Check out the programme organised by Startup Division and the startups we supported.
What they said about us?
Deep Dive Week was a great experience. The advice from expert industry mentors who know our space was invaluable to us. Making connections with European wide travel start-ups was a real bonus; whilst Ireland is a hub for established travel tech companies, we haven’t had a chance to meet many who are also at start-up level in the country, so to share experiences and contacts with other European start-ups was a great added benefit to the programme.
See you in Dublin?
