Enterprise Ireland is calling on potential entrepreneurs with an innovative business idea to apply for a place on its New Frontiers programme, which offers funding of up to €15,000.

Last year New Frontiers, Ireland’s national entrepreneur development programme that is delivered at a local level by the Institutes of Technology, supported more than 120 new business ventures. A further €12.65 million is now being invested for the next three years of the programme.

The programme provides budding entrepreneurs with a package of supports including funding of €15,000, office space, mentoring and workshops to help accelerate their business development.
