Medical technology startup Teleatherapy that provides voice therapy to individuals with Parkinson’s disease is one of the companies that will be showcased at UCC's Ignite programme's graduation and awards tonight.

Attendees will hear from the start-ups who have just completed the programme and hear about the progress made by the start-ups that joined the programme in April. Also, for the first time, the founders who have just begun their start-up journey with Ignite will discuss their ideas.
