Priority 3 supports entrepreneurship in micro-enterprises across the S&E region. Approximately €23.8 million of the Programme budget (50% ERDF/ 50% Irish Exchequer) is allocated to these supports.

Objective:

  • Employment growth in the micro-enterprise sector across the Southern & Eastern regions by supporting business start-ups, business expansion and higher innovation levels in micro-enterprises.

Result Indicators:

  • Employment growth in the micro-enterprise sector across the Southern & Eastern regions.

Implementation Schemes:

  • Entrepreneurship in Micro-Enterprise: Increase employment through financial and non-financial supports targeted at high-growth sectors in manufacturing and traded services. The ERDF co-financed financial supports will be targeted at value added micro-enterprises in the manufacturing and traded services activities, with a particular emphasis on high-growth and potentially high-growth sectors which do not lead to deadweight and or displacement. The non-financial supports are broader and more generally focussed but will meet the specific needs of high growth and potential high growth companies.
