The InsightLink All-Island Alliance is officially underway!

57 organisational leaders from across Ireland and Northern Ireland gathered in Cavan to build relationships, share knowledge, and shape the future of cross-border collaboration. 🤝

We are looking forward to bringing a social enterprise perspective to the Alliance, learning from fellow members and working together to reduce barriers to cooperation across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

A promising beginning, with much to build on.

A word from our Managing Director Helen on the EPIC-X Founders Showcase

"Recently, I was in Vilnius for the packed and inspiring EPIC-X Founders Showcase, where 20 founders from our Acceleration+ programme took the stage for an evening of pitches, visibility, and new opportunities.

I was privileged to serve on the judging panel; the calibre of innovation on display was a powerful reminder of what European deep-tech can achieve with the right backing.

The conviction, skill, and clarity with which these founders pitched made our job tough, but left no doubt that their purpose-driven ventures will shape the future.

Thank you to our amazing founders for their participation. I encourage everyone to explore their visionary ventures.

Of course, huge congratulations to the pitch winners, Barbora Valtarová — AVALTAR and Valentina Garonzi — Diamante Società Benefit Srl. You both brought exceptional clarity and ambition to your pitches. 👏

EPIC-X wouldn't be possible without a strong collective effort between our consortium partners and ecosystem builders, whom I have mentioned below. It's been incredible to collaborate on this inspiring initiative and feel bright about the future of deep-tech in Europe."

📍 Behind the scenes at Catalyst HQ in Belfast! 📸

Here’s Enterprise Evolution Associate Roz Dean delivering training on the Theory of Change for the Social Value Collaborative.

Beyond the jargon, a ToC is simple: it maps out how your day-to-day actions lead directly to long-term, measurable impact.

We use this exact framework with purpose-led organisations to drive organisational excellence and take the guesswork out of social value tracking.

Roz has put together a simple, step-by-step guide featuring a worked example you can apply to your own team.
