TechSearch is a technology licensing and partnering service available from Enterprise Ireland which operates across all industrial sectors and provides assistance and expertise to clients to successfully licence technologies from international sources.  Licensing enables companies to acquire rights to employ proprietary, externally-developed technologies to develop their own products, processes and services.  TechSearch is available to companies that are clients of Enterprise Ireland, IDA and Udaras na Gaeltachta.  

"As a small country, our ability to transfer and apply technologies and knowledge created elsewhere to the development of new products, services and processes, is just as important as our ability to carry out world class scientific research"
