The Green Enterprise Call 2016 is now open.
The theme of this phase of the programme is to link the terms of reference of the project to sustainable consumption and production, in line with the External link Europe 2020 Strategy, and its associated policy documents.
These seek to address the negative environmental aspects of production and to empower consumers to move towards resource efficient consumption.
Green Enterprise provides grant aid to demonstration type projects across all sectors of economic activity in Ireland and is open to proposals from companies, institutions and public bodies. For 2016, the maximum amount of funding available is €60,000 per company/organisation.
Grant aid is provided up to a maximum limit of 75% of the total eligible project costs incurred.
