Enterprise Irelands Industry-Led Research Networks Programme

Enterprise Irelands Industry-Led Research Networks Programme supports medium-term shared agenda research activity among groups of companies that could not afford to fund such research on their own. Its aim is to support industry led networks, or groups of companies undertaking time limited collaborative projects with such benefits to regional development, women in enterprise, rural development or other national economic objectives. The ILN activity has proved useful as a mechanism to get groups of companies to work together on technology and research priorities, breaking down barriers to allow new approaches to company-to-company and company-to-college collaborations to emerge.
