Innovation Boost Business to Business Partnerships
InterTradeIreland also supports the development of collaborative and innovative cross-border business to business partnerships, where two or more businesses partner to develop a solution to a problem, develop a new product or improve a process.
The projects, which must be aligned with InterTradeIreland’s corporate objectives, can provide support for up to £50,000 per partner which is 50% match funded by the business. Cross-border business to business collaborative innovation projects offer real value to participants and support the development and integration of new knowledge, processes and expertise.
In addition, and if appropriate, an academic partner with expertise in the project area can also provide additional support and knowledge. The academic partner can also help ensure the project deliverables are significant in terms of technology transfer to enable increased competitiveness and efficiency, which supports InterTradeIreland’s remit to facilitate and foster increased collaboration and cross-border trade.
