While the fund is open to companies of all sizes across all sectors, it targets six research priority areas for support: health and wellbeing; ICT; energy and sustainability; manufacturing; food; and services. To date there has been a strong prevalence of health and wellbeing projects.
“We seek applications from large and small companies,” FitzGerald adds. “All projects must have an SME as part of the consortium. Fifty per cent of the companies supported so far are SMEs, 37 per cent are research performing organisations, and 12 per cent are large companies. All of the participating companies are clients of either Enterprise Ireland, Údarás na Gaeltachta or IDA Ireland.
“We stay close to the projects throughout their three-year duration. The first call was launched in 2018 and we are beginning to see projects from that coming to a conclusion.”
