What is the Innovation Voucher Initiative?
If you own or manage a small limited company with a company registration number and you have a business opportunity or problem that you want to explore, why not apply for an Innovation Voucher worth €5,000?
The objective of the Innovation Voucher initiative is to build links between Ireland's public knowledge providers and small businesses and create a cultural shift in the small business community's approach to innovation.
Enterprise Ireland is delighted to announce that the Innovation Voucher Initiative is now running in Northern Ireland also. By linking up with Invest Northern Ireland, Enterprise Ireland can now offer voucher holders access to an additional 10 Knowledge Providers in Northern Ireland.

What's in it for my company?
The Innovation Voucher allows you to concentrate on running your business while knowledge providers come up with a solution that could take your business to the next level.
The Innovation Voucher Initiative was a key recommendation of the Small Business Forum in their report Small Business is Big Business , published in 2006.
