The Startup Showcase is a celebration of our region’s High-Growth Startups at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey – from early-stage startups to growing and scaling businesses.
We invite startups, entrepreneurs and scaling businesses to share their experiences, the challenges they’ve faced, and how the supports available are helping them to thrive.

The Startup Showcase is one of the flagship events of the Growth Pathway Programme, delivered by AxisBIC in partnership with Cork City Council, and Cork County Council and continues to be a cornerstone of AxisBIC’s mission to accelerate startup success and create a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Growth Pathway Programme brings together innovative startups and entrepreneurs, seasoned mentors, and investors to foster innovation, collaboration, and growth.
