Agile Innovation Fund
The new measure has been introduced by Enterprise Ireland and can help clients of Local Enterprise South Dublin respond more quickly to market opportunities and challenges, including those posed by Brexit.
Offering fast-track approval and a streamlined online application process, the new Agile Innovation Fund will allow companies, including small companies, to access up to 45% or 50% in support for product, process or service development projects with a total cost of up to €300,000.
Responding to the export challenges and opportunities presented to companies, the new fund is designed to help companies develop new products, processes and services for new market opportunities, enabling exporters to respond quickly and maximise export performance.
