Northern Ireland Startups Move Forward in Seedcorn Funding Opportunity Worth €130,000
Published
Several innovative startups from Northern Ireland have been selected to move on to the next stage of Seedcorn, a funding opportunity worth €130,000. The programme is run by InterTradeIreland, a cross-border body that supports business growth on the island of Ireland.
Among the companies that progressed is Preservoir, a business based in Belfast. The company won the B2B award, which recognises businesses that sell their products or services to other businesses rather than directly to consumers. The award shows the strength of the young companies taking part in the programme.
The Seedcorn funding is designed to help early-stage companies develop new ideas, products and services. For startups, access to funding can be an important step towards growing their businesses, hiring staff and reaching new customers. Support programmes like this one also help small companies to connect with advisers and other businesses across the border.
These developments are good news for the Northern Irish startup community and for the wider island economy. Further details about the selected companies and the next steps in the programme are expected to be announced in the coming period.
