Enterprise Ireland’s Competitive Feasibility Fund will support new start-up companies or individual entrepreneurs to investigate the viability of a new significant growth-oriented business or proposition in the agri business sector.

The funding will enable the promoters to reach firm conclusions regarding the project’s viability and strategies for developing and commercialising the product or service on the international market. Launched during the National Ploughing Championships by Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, the Enterprise Ireland’s €250,000 Competitive Feasibility Fund is aimed at stimulating new start-ups. Applications need to be submitted by next Tuesday, 21 October, at 3pm, through the AgriFund website at www.enterprise-ireland.com/agrifund. This fund can provide up to €25,000/ project.
