The Genesis Enterprise Programme is a 12-month rapid incubation programme that aims to support and accelerate graduate entrepreneurs in developing a business from a very early stage. The GEP gives participants an opportunity to focus on developing the business concept into a viable business, while still receiving an income. It aims to accelerate the learning process for participants through formal training, a mentor and the shared knowledge of other participants.

Candidates may participate on the GEP if they have a knowledge based, innovative idea with export potential and are looking to develop that potential into a business.

The partners of the Programme are the Cork Institute of Technology, the Institute of Technology Tralee, the Cork Business Innovation Centre, University College Cork, Enterprise Ireland and the five South-West region Enterprise Boards (Kerry, Cork City, Cork North, South Cork and West Cork).
