About MERITS

An Economic Development initiative of Kildare County Council and funded by Enterprise Ireland under the Regional Economic Development Fund, MERITS has been established to Digital Technology support businesses through their StandUp, StartUp & Scale Up journey.  Working in tandem with Kildare Local Enterprise Office, MERITS runs programmes and offers support to entrepreneurs and new businesses that will help them to validate their target customers & market, find partners and source appropriate funding.  Key partners include KCC, Maynooth University, Kildare Chamber, Enterprise Ireland and the IDA.

The MERITS building, a 1,200 sqm purposely designed premises, will open in the coming months, but the initiative is already very active, running Incubation & Accelerator Programmes and events for  StartUps companies. MERITS is now open for membership from companies or entrepreneurs looking to base themselves in the building.
