Food startups to get access to top facilities on an hourly rental basis

Food startups will gain access to top professional facilities on an hourly rental basis by the end of September, when Cork County Council completes the latest phase of its Food Enterprise Kitchens in Carrigaline, Co Cork.

The council says this novel, highly flexible route to accessing top-grade facilities will allow early stage food businesses to research new products, developing their commercial production at minimal financial risk.

The council will renovate incubation units in Carrigaline. Main contractor, Droumleigh Construction of Bantry, has started work on the site. The units will be available in the autumn.
