Empowering Women Entrepreneurs

In February 2024, the Irish Government announced €800m of funding for Shared Island priorities, including €30m towards the establishment of a new Shared Island Enterprise Scheme developed by InterTradeIreland, Invest Northern Ireland and Enterprise Ireland.

An element of this scheme is dedicated to fostering women entrepreneurship on an all-island basis. The first stage of this work involves funding for early pilot activities to be delivered on an all-island basis to help inform future programmes.

Expressions of Interest are now closed for Spark It, Grow It, Innovation Labs, She Scales, Engage, and Evolve programmes. Expressions of Interest remain open for AwakenAngel’s Deal Leader and Angel Masterclass programmes, with a closing date of 29th November at 1pm.

As this is a pilot initiative, future programme offerings will be evaluated based on its outcomes. We are committed to continuing our support for women entrepreneurs and will explore further opportunities to deliver impactful programmes.
