As stated in my previous reply to Parliamentary Question No. 282 of 29 January 2019, while there is no specific funding stream for ehubs, in terms of developing regional ehubs, a number of projects which have been offered funding under, for example, the Regional Enterprise Development Fund, are already prototype ehubs and should develop over time into more sustainable ehubs in their own right. The relevant projects funded as part of the first and second Calls of the REDF that I launched in December 2017 and December 2018 are set out in the following tables.
In the context of the further development of ehubs, as envisaged in Project Ireland 2040, in support of efforts to expand entrepreneurship and start-ups in every region, Enterprise Ireland is addressing the need to expand and further develop co-working initiatives including through existing community enterprise centres.
