Technological University Dublin - Enactus

Enactus TU Dublin – from dwindling numbers to international success

Enactus is the world’s largest student-led and student-focused experiential learning initiative. It is a locally rooted, globally-informed, engaged and resilient global network.

Through experiential learning, the students develop and implement solutions to real local social or environmental challenges by creating social enterprise ventures. Learning through experience and experimentation, the students develop their global citizen mindset and entrepreneurial leadership as they solve local challenges and create social, environmental, and economic value for others. Enactus TU Dublin (Technological University Dublin), part of Enactus UK & Ireland, empowers students, with a support of faculty, to collaborate to realise these goals.

Our team has launched six transformative social enterprises in 23-24 academic year, each designed to improve lives and communities. Our projects range from enhancing nightlife safety, advancing agricultural technology, reducing food waste, and addressing addiction psychology, amongst others.

These initiatives showcase the diverse talents and dedication of our members. Through weekly project meetings and international collaboration, we refine our strategies and drive impactful change. Our success is evidenced by our achievements in international competitions, where our projects have been recognized for their ingenuity and effectiveness.

Enactus TU Dublin not only fosters entrepreneurial skills and leadership but also creates a platform for meaningful global engagement and personal growth.
