The Applied Polymer Technology Gateway is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.
The Applied Polymer Technologies Gateway, also known as APT, is a national Gateway centre dedicated to polymer research funded by the Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme. APT operates under the umbrella of the PRISM Research Institute (Polymer, Recycling, Industrial, Sustainability, and Manufacturing) at the Technological University of the Shannon (TUS).
APT is complimented by CISD, the Centre for Industrial Services and Design, which provides expert knowledge and facilities for analytical testing and product development.
Our mission at APT Ireland Gateway is to support the development of innovative, high-value polymer and plastics products. We aim to increase the global competitiveness of Irish-based plastics and polymer companies, open up export opportunities, and ultimately boost revenues and employment across key industry sectors such as Sustainability, Packaging, MedTech, and GreenTech.
Centre Manager: Kenny O'Brien
