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.

Enterprise Ireland recognises that building a start-up from research is challenging due to resource constraints, capital limitations, talent shortages and limited partnership opportunities. Our goal is to create an ecosystem that connects innovators, partners and investors to facilitate the journey from idea to commercial success.

Working with companies, or clusters of companies, offers many benefits to researchers.

Enterprise Ireland provides funding for your research team and offers practical experience and the opportunity for students to work on placement in companies.
