Our R&D advocates can provide you with up to three days technical consultancy to help your company to
- Understand the R&D process
- Establish the right strategy
- Identify the right project(s) for your company
- Develop a project plan
- Apply for funding
Eligibility
Your company is eligible to apply if:
- spends not more than €65,000 a year on R&D now or
- has not spent more than €130,000 a year over the last three years,
How it works
- Individual companies commission a consultancy firm of their choice from our panel of three. A consultant from the selected firm will provide your company with technical consulting for up to three days.
- The maximum allowable daily rate will be €900 plus VAT at 21% and expenses. Your company will pay €320 plus VAT at 21% per day towards these costs and Enterprise Ireland will pay the balance.
- Your payment will be made directly to the technical consultant you have chosen.
- If your consulting assignment finishes after the first half day you do not pay a fee.
