New Site Launching Wednesday 6th September 2006

TechSearch is a service offered by Enterprise Ireland through which companies can locate and acquire technologies external to the company, that are not readily available from commercial sources.  These technologies would typically be found internationally from other companies and from research centres, but may also be acquired from Irish sources.   

We work with your company to develop an appropriate technology acquisition strategy and then assist you through the subsequent stages of the technology acquisition process.  The service is managed and operated by the Technology Transfer Department, which provides specialist expertise in the area of technology acquisition and licensing.

This website has been designed to assist companies in their search for technology solutions. It contains useful information including an explanatory guide - "7 Steps to Technology Acquisition", successful technology acquisition case studies , and an online application form. Everything you need to get your company profitably engaged in the external acquisition of technology.

Who is it for?

The service is designed for companies that are exporting, or that plan to export in the near future.  It is available to companies that are clients of the four main Development Agencies - Enterprise Ireland, IDA, Shannon Development and Udaras na Gaeltachta .

Enterprise Ireland (EI) is the state-sponsored body that supports the growth of indigenous industry, within the Republic of Ireland.  The agency's core mission is to accelerate Ireland's national and regional development by working with Irish companies to develop and compete so that they can grow in world markets.  For further details on Enterprise Ireland please go to www.enterprise-ireland.com
