Ian Brannigan - public funding can help #startups and #SMEs forward by providing support that is not otherwise available for them. Can be a matter of life and death for a business, which has not reached a level, where the markets could sustain them yet - as demonstrated by FREED
The next programme number is the musical chairs! No, just kidding, a panel discussion with the SMEs and funders, @NickLyth1 from @GAS_Investments & Ian Brannigan from Western Development Commission. @chrisashe1 from @EIfI_Umbrella in charge of asking the tough questions
@swccollege The service has a funding platform for #SMEs, which provides information about funding possibilities for SMEs based on their needs and other helpful resources for business development. The service will go online by the end of 2018
Cara Woods from @swccollege presenting the FREED service that has been developed in the project. The service will provide support for #smes and link them with #funders and business support agencies
@Solo_Energy@swccrest Direct benefits for @Solo_Energy - field deployment at Nenagh library, Tipperary, which already had #solarpower - #energystorage made it possible, that the library could produce and store its own energy and provide for the grid too
Small scale anaerobic digestor - SSAD - has a lot of potential, which was acknowledged too by @Freedproject - the project has made it possible to set up a #prototype at #Hillsborough, NI research farm
