Business Explorer

The Business Explorer programme can provide the critical funding to small businesses as they start their journey of innovation or develop industry solutions allowing them to take their business to the next level.

About the programme

The Business Explorer programme is a new 2 stage initiative by InterTradeIreland to provide SME’s with early stage guidance and support using innovation to tackle business challenges or develop new products or ideas in Science, Engineering and Technology.

The Business Explorer programme provides support by funding a suitable academic professional or industry specialist to work with an SME to explore innovative solutions to business challenges or innovative techniques to develop out an idea further. The programme is a pathway of support which will continue to fund the academic/industry specialist to support the business to take their findings to create a plan to adapt the solution into the business therefore nurturing a culture of innovation.
