Garrett Duffy is the New Frontiers Programme Manager in Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT).An Electronic Engineering graduate from DkIT, Garrett has held Management and Senior Engineering roles in a number of multinational corporations in Ireland, the UK and France. He also ran his own engineering contracting business building a customer base in Ireland and the UK.

With business taking him abroad more frequently and with a young family back at home, Garrett took the decision to close his engineering business and to follow a dream. He launched Inside Business magazine which served the eastern corridor from Dublin North to Louth, Newry and Mourne. Starting a business magazine forced Garrett to get out of his comfort zone, to widen his business networks and learn new skills. He also found time to complete an honours degree in Business during this time.

Since 2007, Garrett has worked in the Regional Development Centre in DkIT as Enterprise Development Manager, supporting over 300 start-up technology entrepreneurs. He has lectured in Information Systems, Computer Applications and New Venture creation to undergraduates in DkIT’s School of Business and Humanities and the School of Engineering. He also set up StudentEnterprise@DkIT to encourage the student population to consider enterprise and business ownership as a career option.
