Exciting News for Irish Businesses! 🇮🇪 Enterprise Ireland is ramping up its support for small businesses with plans to write larger multi-million euro cheques as part of a new five-year strategy focused on creating indigenous megafirms! 💼💰 Since 2023, Enterprise Ireland has made 38 investments of €1 million or more into Irish companies, including a significant €4.3 million investment. In total, they invested €24 million into Irish start-ups last year! CEO Leo Clancy envisions a future where more indigenous Irish firms can scale to employ between 10,000 and 50,000 people, providing a strong counterweight to multinational giants. This move will not only boost our economy but also nurture homegrown talent and innovation.
