Develop the products and services of tomorrow

Enterprise Ireland supports researchers and venture scientists taking their first steps in commercialising their research and turning it into a start-up business. Our wide range of support enables researchers and scientists who want to develop a new technology based on their research.  

If you’re in a business and want to explore Research and Innovation supports and opportunities, please visit our Research and Innovation page.
