Investor forum may generate €10m for high-tech start-ups

Enterprise Ireland’s latest overseas investment forum could attract combined funding of €10m for high- tech start-ups based here.

The agency held its fifth annual International Investor Forum in London yesterday. It was attended by 25 Irish SMEs and start-ups and attracted more than 114 venture capital, corporate, and other investors from around the world.

While most investors were from the venture capital sector, a number of ‘business angels’ and high net-worth individuals were also in attendance.
