shareclub at NDRC Demo Day Sep 2024: colourful cups and inspiring stories

In September 2024, the NDRC Demo Day brought together some of the hottest startups in tech at Dogpatch Labs. This year’s event was a bit different—NDRC startups shared the stage with their Northern Ireland counterparts from Founder Labs at Ormeau Baths, Belfast, creating a one-of-a-kind, all-island collaboration of game-changing innovators.

Founders delivered their pitches live, to a room packed with over 350 startup ecosystem builders. The energy was electric as startups from both programmes showcased their cutting-edge solutions, each looking to make a real impact across a range of industries. 

Shareclub was excited to be part of this vibrant event, with our colourful sharecups adding a bright, cheerful presence to the space. It was the perfect representation of our mission to make sustainability fun and accessible. We loved seeing attendees enthusiastically using our reusable cups throughout the day - reinforcing the impact small actions can have on environmental change.

NDRC Demo day was not only a showcase of startups - it was a celebration of the innovation and collaboration driving Ireland’s tech ecosystem. The day highlighted the diverse talent emerging from programmes like NDRC and Founder Labs, and we felt energised to be part of this dynamic and supportive community.

The energy and excitement in the room was amazing as attendees gathered to witness the next wave of promising startups, each aiming to make a significant impact in their respective fields.

The event not only celebrated the hard work and creativity of the founders but also emphasized the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship in driving economic growth and technological advancement.
