Galway entrepreneurs and start-ups are being urged to apply for funding to provide an innovative product or service aimed at international markets.
Early-stage entrepreneurs are invited to apply for two Enterprise Ireland Competitive Start Funds - All Sectors and Women Entrepreneurs.
The aim is to help start-ups reach key commercial and technical milestones. Several support workshops will be held online by the national Business Innovation Centres over the coming weeks. Details of these workshops, as well as the Competitive Start Fund application forms and eligibility criteria for funding is via www.enterprise-ireland.com/csf .
Applicants can only apply for one competition and must meet the requirements for that specific competition. The closing date for both CSF competitions is 3pm on Tuesday September 28.
The schemes have been welcomed by Fine Gael Galway West TD, and Minister of State, Hildegarde Naughton [pictured above]. “I would ask ambitious entrepreneurs and start-ups in Galway,” she said, “with an eligible innovative product or service set for international markets to apply for this funding.”
