Entrepreneurship and Human Flourishing: New DCU Research Commissioned by Catalyst

Delighted to share that the DCU Institute for Business and Society has published new research, commissioned by Catalyst in Northern Ireland.

For years, the assumption has been that entrepreneurial ambition is something you either have or you don't. This new independent research challenges that directly.

An entrepreneurship programme delivered by Catalyst has achieved an 86% entrepreneurial intention rate among participants from underrepresented groups across Northern Ireland.

The findings come from an independent report produced by the National Centre for Family Business at DCU Business School, drawing on participant survey data and interviews from Hello Possible - an entrepreneurship development programme delivered by Catalyst and funded by the Department for the Economy.

Entrepreneurs can be made.
