The aim of the Commercialisation Fund is improve the competitiveness of the Irish economy through the creation of technology based start-up companies and the transfer of innovative technologies developed in Higher Education Institutes and Research Performing Organisations to industry in Ireland.
Funding is available to support the development of technologies at all stages of the commercial pipeline from early stage research through technology development to a point where the technology can be commercialised. Proposals should address a “gap” or “need” in the market that is or may be of interest to industry in Ireland or has the potential to be the basis of a new “start up” company.
