EBN is now the leading non-governmental pan-European network bringing together 200+ Business & Innovation Centres (BICs), and similar organisations such as incubators, innovation and entrepreneurship centres across the enlarged Europe.

Dublin Business Innovation Centre (DBIC) was established in 1988 with private, public, educational and EU support. It assists and provides advice to new business projects and access to seed capital to selected enterprises. Dublin BIC plays a particular role by acting as a facilitator to the entrepreneur in finding practical solutions to problems in a responsive, non-bureaucratic way. These activities complement the assistance and services provided by the State agencies and the private sector.

Why is design important? Our research shows Irish companies that value design innovate more often. Not only that, but Irish companies that value design innovate more successfully. And those companies that integrate design more strategically within their organisations experience greater demand for their goods and services. What are you waiting for?
