R&D
Our support under the Boosting Business through R&D theme is designed to help you ensure your business remains competitive and grows its market share.
With our help, you can invest in new products, services and processes, use design to improve your business performance, gain a better understanding of the technical, legislative and intellectual property issues you may face and access collaborative networks to access new business opportunities that might otherwise be beyond your reach.
New to R&D
If you are a small or medium sized business in Northern Ireland who has an idea for a new product or process that could help grow your business we can give you up to £50,000 to:
- Investigate or plan your idea;
- Make and test a prototype;
- Experiment and refine your design; and
- Intellectual property costs.
