ITUS Secure Technologies

Earlier this week, our co-founder Clare Ryan had the honour of participating in a panel discussion, hosted by AwakenHub and AwakenAngels, at the Embassy of Ireland, Great Britain in London. The discussions focused on “Shifting the Dial for Irish Women Founders and Investors” with Mary McKenna, MBE, British and European Angel Investor of the Year 2024, hosting the fireside chat. The event, was kindly hosted by Ambassador Martin Fraser, provided a valuable platform to highlight the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs when it comes to launching and securing funding for their start-up. The evening featured discussions on how we can elevate the current figures of just 2% global investment in women-founded companies and encourage more women to diversify into angel investing (currently only 7% of angel investors across Europe identify as female). Clare, alongside Joann Rhodes MBA from Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland (HIRANI) and Niamh Dooley from BiaSol, shared insights on the challenges and opportunities for women founders, with a focus on life sciences, cybersecurity, and the circular economy for food. The conversation emphasised the importance of both financial and sector-specific knowledge in driving success for early-stage start-ups, and showcased the importance of new angel investors to the sector. Thanks to Denise McQuaid, Clare McGee, Sinead Crowley and the wider AwakenHub and AwakenAngels team, and everyone who made this event possible. It’s inspiring to see such dedication to fostering a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem. And a special thanks to all of the start-up founders and supporters who took time to join us at the event.  Allen Xu Professor Sandra Moffett Shana Chu Wendy Slattery Julie Connelly Emma Meehan Sheelagh Brady WestBIC #FemaleFounders #AngelInvesting #CyberSecurity #IrishBusiness #RiskManagement
