Enterprise Ireland – Research, Development & Innovation Fund
Enterprise Ireland
Enterprise Ireland's main scheme for company R&D. Requires the company to be a manufacturing company or an internationally traded services company, and an existing or potential client of Enterprise Ireland, Údarás or a local enterprise office. The project must be non-routine and provide a genuine boost to the company's R&D capacity. Collaborative projects must involve at least one SME, or span at least two member states.
From idea to completed grant — five steps
- Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
- Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in Enterprise Ireland – Research, Development & Innovation Fund and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
- Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
- Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
- Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
