Enterprise Ireland has announced today (17 April) a new stream of funding under its Commercialisation Fund to help researchers bring their innovations to market.
The Proof of Concept Funding initiative offers up to €100,000 over a 12-month period, bridging the gap between initial research and the commercial market.
The programme supports a range of activities including customer discovery, prototype development and early-stage human-use studies, helping researchers validate both the technical feasibility and market need for their innovations. The initiative will also include non-financial supports such as mentoring, networking and team development.
Enterprise Ireland says that the new funding complements existing supports under the Commercialisation Fund, including the Feasibility Grant and the Commercialisation Fund Award.
