Catalyst announces partnership with all-island female founder community AwakenHub

  • Catalyst has announced a new partnership with all-island female entrepreneurial community, AwakenHub, to support and empower the next generation of female entrepreneurs and innovators in Ireland.

    AwakenHub’s mission is to level-up opportunity, access and connectivity for female founders across the Island of Ireland by removing barriers to investment, scale and success.

    The AwakenHub community provides its members with expert advice about the world of investment and funding streams, as well as access to likeminded female founders, leaders and allies through practical support and community events.

    An independent, not-for-profit organisation, Catalyst is working for the greater good, enabling a connected community of entrepreneurial technology innovators in Northern Ireland. It is anticipated that the new partnership with Awaken Hub will help to increase the amount of female entrepreneurs across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and beyond.
