ENFUSE is an initiative lead by Dublin City Council and the Local Enterprise Office in Dublin, in collaboration with universities, colleges, local enterprises and students enrolled in master’s programmes. Recognising the challenges faced by SMEs in a highly competitive market, ENFUSE aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry by connecting enterprises with Master’s level university and college students.
Through the programme, students work in teams to conduct research and provide bespoke plans for participant businesses. The plans set out innovative solutions for addressing challenges and developing opportunities. Student teams can assist across a spectrum of areas, including Strategy, Marketing, Digital Marketing, Design Thinking, Innovation, Digital Transformation, Project Management, Circular Economy Principals and Design, Tourism / Hospitality / Event Development, New Product / Service Development, Business / Market Development, Finance, Data Analysis, Machine Learning, and more.
