Could a tiny patch replace the injection needle? A Cork start-up is working on it (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If youâre someone who feels an irrational panic at the thought of having an injection, thereâs a sporting chance you suffer from trypanophobia, also known as fear of needles. The good news for phobics, or indeed anyone who finds injections difficult, is that advances in needle technology have led to the development of the microneedle, which can be used instead of a sharp metal needle to deliver medicine without the âouchâ factor. Making its mark in this emerging niche is ArrayPatch, a Co
Can AI give small businesses the marketing muscle of big companies? (opens the original)

Constant eye on innovation key to turning water leaks into a growing business (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A classic mistake made by first-time founders is to assume that the eureka moment that inspired their start-up will be enough to carry their new business safely into the future. This is rarely the case. In a successful business, innovation is seldom one big bang. Itâs an incremental process that starts with a bright idea but continues in other ways to create a rounded business with the momentum needed for growth.
