Fund helps businesses to tap in to hi-tech markets

While the labour force has been slow to adapt to the hi-tech environment, it has also been problematic for indigenous industry to redirect their operations towards the opportunities created.

This has led to a support programme designed to connect the development skills emerging from universities with the niches that businesses have identified but do not have the expertise to exploit.

Under the InterTrade Fusion programme, these businesses can apply for up to €52,800 to employ science, engineering, and technology graduates for up to 18 months.
