CorkBIC is a private-sector led organisation, in its 25th year, specifically set up to identify and build knowledge intensive companies based on promising technology and capable innovative people. It plays a hands-on role helping entrepreneurs navigate the minefield of start-ups, raise finance, sort out business propositions, arrange agreements with shareholders and investors, and, perhaps most important of all, to find customers.
