A showcasing of some of the fantastic ideas on inclusive products and services developed by MTU Entrepreneurship students.

Stephen Foley, Ioan Simon, Ian Shorten, Jamie Cole and Conor O Driscoll will present their idea ‘Refresh’ - an online platform aimed at a particular marginalised group of people (Ex-Prisoners) who show an interest and are determined to re-integrate into society utilising employment, education, or even personal development after serving their prison sentence.
Tommy O'Callaghan, Michael O'Driscoll, Sean O'Neill, Peter O'Leary & Kevin O'Riordan will present their idea ‘Together with You’, a social enterprise thar provides an informal sit-in service for the elderly in communities. General conversations and building companionships will tackle the issue of isolation and loneliness for a central segment of our society.
Grainne Holmes, Rebecca Healy, Daniela Kaiser & Ava Hartigan will present their idea the ‘V beanie’. V beanie is a stylish therapeutical hat for all seasons, designed to minimise outside stimulation for children and young adults with sensory issues such as autism
Andrew Corkery and Shauna Courtney will present their idea ‘Expresso Yourself’ – a café specifically aimed at members of the queer community. The café would act as a fun, trendy, creative and safe space where members of the community, and their allies, could come to grab a bite, relax, mingle and be their true self.

This event is over and registration is now closed.

This is the first in a series of three Coffee Conversations on Inclusive Entrepreneurship.
