Dogpatch launches a new programme, investing in people, not startups, which brings together the most talented engineers, domain experts and commercial minds to find a co-founder, learn from 50+ expert mentors, build the next generation of tech startups, and pitch for €100K investment.

Dogpatch launches ‘2050’, in partnership with Kerry, ESB, and Coillte and supported by the DECC, to connect startups, industry, and national assets to accelerate towards Net Zero. Climate change is the defining era of our era, and 2050 aims to use Ireland’s superpower ‘connectedness’ to make a meaningful impact and Ireland a leader in sustainability innovation.

Former Patcher Jack O’Regan Kenny takes the ropes as the new MD of Patch, with NDRC committing to 3 years of funding. The Youth Accelerator will run all-island for the first time, and it will boast the largest cohort yet in 2023, including trips to London and Belfast.

After a three-year hiatus DiTW returned with a bang. With speakers from global tech giants, top Irish entrepreneurs, experts in DEI fields flying in and more, Dogpatch welcomes 100s of leaders in tech to learn and implement global best practices in DEI.
