CorkBIC is rebranding as AxisBIC as it expands its services across the Mid West.
CorkBIC has been driving innovation and fostering the growth of start-ups in the South West for 35 year, and under the new brand it will offer services in Limerick and Clare, leveraging the extensive startup infrastructure that already exists in the Mid-West.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney officially unveiled the new name, AxisBIC, at an event in Cork City today.
AxisBIC is one of four Irish BICs funded by Enterprise Ireland to grow and support innovative startups who have high growth potential and can contribute to economic development in their areas.
A team of in-house experts help each entrepreneur to develop a well-tested business plan, raise investment, manage business propositions, and arrange agreements with shareholders and investors. The organisation has an extensive network of partners including local authorities, universities, investors, business bodies and seasoned entrepreneurs across Ireland and internationally.
CorkBIC has worked with hundreds of innovative startups across the South and Mid-West region including Crest Solutions, Workvivo, Poppulo, Abtran, Green Saffron, AventaMed, among others.
Larry O'Donoghue, CEO of AxisBIC said, "We are excited to develop and grow these collaborations with entrepreneurs in Clare and Limerick. I would like to recognise all the support that we’ve received from our partners, many of whom are at this event today, as we launch the next phase of our journey as CorkBIC becomes AxisBIC."
Frank Madden, Founder and Director of Crest Solutions said CorkBIC offered invaluable support to the company, now Catalyx. "Starting a new business can be an extremely daunting experience but the team at CorkBIC helped us to navigate the many challenges we faced and were a huge part of our success. I would highly recommend any start-up or entrepreneur to contact them for advice and assistance."
Minister Coveney said CorkBIC, now known as AxisBIC, has been a well-known brand for many years, providing an invaluable service to entrepreneurs across a range of sectors. "This expansion is a great reflection of AxisBIC’s commitment and dedication to its clients and their development and I support the endeavours of AxisBIC as they help to develop innovative entrepreneurs across the South and Mid-West region."
