Blackstone LaunchPad is a campus-based entrepreneurship programme at NUI Galway. The initiative is accessible by over half a million students globally, and NUI Galway was the first university outside the US to host it. Blackstone Launchpad is designed to support and mentor students, staff and alumni regardless of their subject, experience or discipline.
Training the next generation of entrepreneurs is what Blackstone offers its members. NUI Galway students can avail of the Blackstone LaunchPad services free of charge. Examples of the services offered include mentoring, network building, resource acquirement, and securing efficient online tools.
We at the Geec share Blackstone LaunchPad’s values of entrepreneurship and innovation, and we are proud to have them partner with us. They have kindly provided the team with capital funding that will be invested in this year’s Geec 2.0 car.
