Enterprise Ireland supports companies in every region of Ireland to start, scale and remain competitive on international markets. Enterprise Ireland uses a developmental approach across all aspects of its clients’ needs, including business development, sales and marketing capabilities, innovation and R&D activity, technology development, continuous competitiveness and lean improvements, leadership and management development and access to finance.

Recognising the diversity of the Enterprise Ireland client base, supports are tailored to reflect companies’ stage of development. This ensures that all of its clients, from Entrepreneurs and Start-Ups, to exporting SMEs and scaling companies, can access the appropriate supports to help them to create and sustain jobs.

In 2016, Enterprise Ireland supported companies employed 201,108 people.  Within this, 19,244 new jobs were created resulting in a net gain of 9,117 jobs, after job losses are taken into account.
