Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin has launched a €2m Enterprise Ireland research programme for the biotechnology industry.
The BioIndustry-Led Research Programme aims to help companies in the sector to grow through research and development.
For the programme, Enterprise Ireland, in collaboration with the Irish BioIndustry Association, invited leading business managers and scientists, from biotechnology companies in Ireland, to identify key areas for research.
The R&D will be carried out, on behalf of the companies, by a team of leading academics from Irish universities.
