Enabling networks and clusters to harness the power of cross-border collaboration
Synergy is an InterTradeIreland programme that’s designed to increase SME participation in innovative networks of entrepreneurs, academics, policy makers, corporates and third sector participants. It aims to scale cross-border collaboration, using cluster and network development supports to increase the impact of programmes with economic benefit to Ireland and Northern Ireland.
What support can Synergy provide?
Synergy aims to solve common problems and identify joint opportunities that exist in Ireland and Northern Ireland. We want to support new collaborations with the right partners from both Ireland and Northern Ireland, who in conjunction with InterTradeIreland, will find a common pathway that will lead to a solution being achieved which benefits both economies North and South in line with InterTradeIreland's 2020-2022 corporate plan.
