A new State-backed grant has been introduced to help Brexit impacted Enterprise Ireland and Bord Bia client companies enter into new markets.

The Post-Brexit Market Growth and Diversification grant was formed to reduce reliance on Ireland’s closest exporting market and to also expose Irish firms to other areas where they can develop.
