In 2004, Enterprise Ireland invested €2.687 million in incubator space on the Galway city campus of Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT). This new facility will combine workshop, industrial and office space for high technology manufacturing plus a dedicated applied research facility. It will also provide a range of business development supports to assist in the start-up process including mentoring, business planning and R&D services. By locating applied research laboratories close to manufacturing and ICT incubator space, GMIT will also make its research expertise easily accessible to the new enterprises.
