We are experts in Enterprise Ireland supports, most commonly the Innovation Voucher (up to €10,000 value) for feasibility or proof-of-concept, and the larger Innovation Partnership for long-term R&D.
No. The Technology Gateway Network is open to all Irish-based companies, including start-ups, SMEs, and multi-nationals, regardless of their status with Enterprise Ireland.
We provide "full-stack" expertise in IoT and Cyber-Physical Systems, including custom hardware (PCB) design, embedded software, AI/Data Analytics, Cyber Security, and User Experience (UX/UI).
Projects vary widely. A basic Innovation Voucher project (feasibility/proof-of-concept) is typically completed in 3–36months. Larger, complex R&D projects can take up to 1–2 years.
The IP generated during the project is typically owned by your company. This is a core part of the Enterprise Ireland programme design to ensure your business benefits directly from the innovation.
