Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund Call 6 Webinar

This webinar will provide information for those interested in learning more about the application process for Call 6 of the Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF).

Details will be provided on the broadened scope of the eligibility requirement, that is, the inclusion of “experimental development” with “industrial development”, as this requirement is different from the previous general DTIF Calls.

The webinar will also address issues relating to the new requirement for companies to submit financial information to demonstrate that they are not Undertakings in Difficulty.

The Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Simon Coveney, together with the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Simon Harris, and Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Dara Calleary, had launched the sixth call for applications to the Fund on 8 March 2023.

DTIF is seeking investment in the development and deployment of disruptive innovative technologies, on a commercial basis, targeted at tackling national and global challenges. The fund is driving collaboration between our world class research base and industry as well as facilitating enterprises to compete directly for funding in support of the development and adoption of these technologies and seeding a new wave of start-ups.

DTIF Call 6 is a general call and welcomes applications from all sectors. We would particularly encourage projects that complement the priority enterprise policy objectives on digital transformation and integrating decarbonisation and net zero commitments, as set out in the White Paper on Enterprise. Projects that help to drive the innovation and transformation opportunities that are needed in sectors such as construction are also encouraged. However, all projects will be expected to demonstrate a positive contribution to the sustainability targets in the Climate Action Plan.
