Innovation Partnership Feasibility Study
Funding Agency: Enterprise Ireland
Funding Available: €9,000
Focus: The Innovation Partnership Feasibility Study encourages Irish based companies to work with Irish research institutes resulting in the development of a new product, process, technology or service offering.
This study is fully funded by Enterprise Ireland. It is a collaborative research project between Irish research Institutes and the applicant company. This open call programme operates with monthly approvals. The maximum grant awarded is €9,000. The Project Feasibility Study is not intended to be a standalone discrete piece of research. It is intended to provide a ‘stepping stone’ to enable researchers and third-level institutions to become involved in full Innovation Partnership projects with industrial partners. The focus should be on the viability of manufacturing a new product or process and/or services development and the project duration is generally 3 to 6 months.
Shannon ABC has worked successfully in the past with many companies who have availed of the Innovation Partnership Feasibility Study and are available to discuss how it may fit with your companies R&D pipeline.
