Competitive Feasibility Fund - Agri Business

Enterprise Ireland regularly offers feasibility funding for business start-ups in various sectors and geographic regions.  The objective of the Competitive Feasibility Funds is to assist new start-up companies or entrepreneurs, to investigate the viability of a new growth-orientated business proposition which has the potential to become a High Growth Potential Start-up (HPSU).  These are companies that can develop scalable innovative technologies, products or services for sale on world markets.  We are seeking to support projects that are likely to achieve significant growth within three years (sales of €1m per annum and employment of 10 or more) or, where a company is required to have FDA or CE approval, to have €1 million in sales within three years of approval to sell.

The purpose of the Feasibility Grant is to enable the applicant and Enterprise Ireland to reach firm conclusions regarding the project's viability and set out investor-ready plans and financials associated with developing and commercialising the product or service on international markets. The Fund is open to manufacturing and internationally traded services business and designed to enable start-up companies reach key commercial and technical milestones.

Closing date for applications is 8th of September 2015
