Killarney Innovation Centre (KIC) has a new look after a re-branding project to encompass the ethos of the centre which is to support business that has potential to grow and create employment in the region.

Located in Deerpark, Killarney, KIC is one of the country's longest established centres that promotes business, enterprise, innovation and collaboration for small and medium business and larger companies seeking a second site location.

In 2021 it took on the re-branding project to establish its new identity.

Working with Anchor studios in Kenmare, Centre Manager Conor O'Leary said that the new brand incorporates a circular logo which represents KIC.

“An object in orbit is called a satellite. The businesses using the Killarney Innovation Centre are within the ‘orbit’ of the centre and just as in nature and space, the businesses share the same pull towards KIC," Conor said.

"Orbiting also refers to motion and demonstrates that the businesses are in constant motion and evolution. The central hub of the KIC fosters this growth and development by offering a supportive, bespoke office experience on flexible terms to suit individual business needs.”

Killarney Innovation Centre is delighted with the end result and is now seeing the branding incorporated into the centre through signage etc.

“It is exciting to see the project come to life and the vibrant branding incorporated into different areas is fantastic.”

Conor would like to acknowledge the assistance given by Enterprise Ireland and the Department of Rural and Community Development for their assistance in bringing this project to fruition.

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
