Enterprise Ireland should leverage their collaboration with the Higher education Authority (HEA) to develop a tailored enterprise programme that is targeted at immigrants who are postgraduates in Irish Higher education Insitutions HEIS)
Additionally, the reduction in state funding for HEIS has required academic institutions to source a greater amount of their funding from industry (e g. provision of training programmes, undertaking research, donations, etc.
To date, however our Higher education Institutes (HEIS) have not been a big factor in developing and supporting startup activity.
A new mindset has been developing in the HEIS, Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), and Enterprise Ireland community recently:
We encourage the new direction of HEIS that enables companies to engage directly with graduate students without any intellectual property ownership being claimed by the university,

This strategy will set out performance indicators and measures to benchmark entrepreneurial activity in Irish higher education.
