The International Start-up Fund was approved by the Enterprise Ireland Board on 13th July 2011, and has received several hundred enquiries since that date. These enquiries are developed on a continuous basis, and form a healthy pipeline of potential projects for the coming year. To date, 17 applications have been submitted to the Enterprise Ireland Investment Committee for consideration. All of these were approved with a combined approval of €3.86m.
