It’s a limited offer and the deadline is soon — we’ll help you apply today so you don’t miss this one-off amazing opportunity.
Brexit has hit Ireland harder than any other country in the EU. A report commissioned by the Irish Government found the knock-on effects will negatively impact production and lower Irish GDP by 3-7 per cent by 2030.
Enterprise Ireland’s Post-Brexit Market Growth & Diversification Scheme is a new €2.5 million programme to help Enterprise Ireland or Bord Bia clients overcome Brexit losses. You can secure up to 80% funding for a €45,000 go-to-market project — so you could pay just €9,000 to partner with approved EI agencies and consultants and develop a long-term export strategy to boost international growth.
If your business has suffered a 5% drop in sales to the UK in 2020, 2021 or 2022 compared with 2019, you can apply. It’s a one-off chance to open up your business to a worldwide target audience.
The funding will give you access to EI-approved agencies and consultants, to develop a diversification strategy that will transform and future-proof your business.
