Clare Senator and local businessman, Tony Mulcahy has welcomed the launch of a €250K Competitive Feasibility Fund aimed at stimulating high potential business start-ups by female entrepreneurs.
The Female Entrepreneurship Competitive Feasibility Fund is designed to assist female entrepreneurs to investigate the viability of a new growth orientated business that can succeed in global markets.
Senator Mulcahy appealed to Clare companies to submit their applications as soon as possible. He noted that the focus of the new scheme is on developing new businesses that can move beyond the domestic market and demonstrate real potential for internationalisation.
“The new scheme, which is being coordinated by Enterprise Ireland, is geared toward supporting an important group of female entrepreneurs to expand their business horizons and set up innovative export focussed companies that can win business abroad and create jobs at home. It is about giving them a vital injection of funding and support when they most need it,” the Fine Gael Senator added.
The fund will be open for applications from Tuesday 17th of July 2012 until 4th of September 2012. Full details of the Fund including the Application Form are available on the Enterprise Ireland web site: www.enterprise-ireland.com/femaleentrepreneurship.
