I propose to take Questions Nos. 141 and 145 together.
The National Digital Research Centre (NDRC) is a private company which is funded by my Department through a Concession Agreement to develop research based projects to market ready stage by means of collaboration between researchers and commercial development staff who work together in joint project teams. The Concession Agreement commenced in 2007 and to date €23.2m of Exchequer capital funding has been advanced to the NDRC. I am informed by the NDRC that ventures set up from
NDRC projects have received follow-on private investment of €9.6m and created 155 full-time jobs and 66 part-time jobs by end 2012, and their market valuation had reached almost €30m.
A list of the ventures supported by the NDRC, based on information I have received from the NDRC, is shown in the table. Support is provided by way of mentoring and development as well as share capital in some instances. NDRC further advises that the investment amounts provided to, and the shares which it holds in, ventures is commercially sensitive information.
