Dogpatch Labs and The Fidelity Center for Applied Technology FCAT have selected three breakthrough startups to participate in “The FCAT Fellowship” programme, which will take place in Dogpatch Labs, Ireland’s leading innovation hub based in Dublin – one of Europe’s most vibrant tech ecosystems.
Kicking off in July 2024, participating startups in the inaugural cohort will receive 1 year of support from Dogpatch Labs to help accelerate their business, learning from established entrepreneurs and gaining access to Dogpatch Labs’ extensive network. Startups will also gain access to the expertise and network of FCAT, which tests and scales groundbreaking concepts and ideas that advance Fidelity’s market leadership and enhances customer experiences.

By leveraging our collective expertise, resources and global network, we have the opportunity to drive significant advancements for these startups. We believe in working
with these committed founders to help them achieve their potential. This programme can be a catalyst, in accelerating these startups, helping them scale and ultimately have a profound impact.”
Dogpatch Lab’s Managing Director of Innovation David Power said, “This is our most personal programme yet – the startups on the programme will receive the very best available supports from our innovation team here at Dogpatch, and the access to the expertise and global network of the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology takes this to the next level.”
