Facilitating future growth: Could pension funds plug the scaling finance gap?

Colm Sheehan, director, corporate finance, Crowe.

Businesses of all sizes, and at all stages, require access to finance and funding solutions. It’s the oxygen in their ecosystem. The current programme for government contains a number of commitments to take steps to help, including through an increased allocation of €250 million to Enterprise Ireland’s Seed and Venture Capital Scheme.

The Government is also working with the Irish Stock Exchange to facilitate future growth, focusing particularly on small to medium-sized, fast-growing companies.
