INNOVATION VOUCHERS

Innovation is essential if you want to stay ahead in competitive and fast-changing markets. But, you might lack the time or know-how to develop the types of innovative solutions that could set your business apart. That’s where Innovation Vouchers from Enterprise Ireland come in.

Each Innovation Voucher gives you €5,000 worth of time with an expert, third-level researcher to help you tease out an idea, develop a new product, or crack an important business challenge.

Vouchers can be used for any innovation, such as:

• New product or process development
• New business model development
• New service delivery and customer interface
• Tailored innovation management training
• Innovation or technology audit

Your Innovation Voucher can be exchanged for support through any Institute of Technology, University or publicly-funded research organisation registered with Enterprise Ireland.

A full list of all participating knowledge providers can be found at www.innovationvouchers.ie

Innovation vouchers are available to businesses that meet the following criteria:

• Small or medium sized businesses across a full range of sectors (excluding agriculture)
• Companies with less than 250 full-time employees within the company (or entire group)
• An annual turnover total not exceeding €50m and/or an annual Balance Sheet total not exceeding €43m.
