RD&I Grant Incentives
A range of cash grants and financial supports for undertaking Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) in Ireland are available from both Irish governmental agencies like the IDA and Enterprise Ireland and the EU. As part of our Global RD&I Services network, we offer extensive supports to aid companies in securing such funding to sustain and build on their existing investments in Ireland and as a mechanism to facilitate new FDI investment into Ireland.
Some factors to consider in relation to your RD&I grant incentives
- Are you intending to undertake R&D in-house or as part of a collaborative endeavour?
- What is the envisaged duration of the RD&I Programme?
- What level of investment do you require to deliver on the proposed programme?
- Given the myriad of incentive supports that are available, have you fully considered your specific requirements to ensure optimal alignment with the appropriate funding instrument?
