1890. Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if she will provide a breakdown of the €62 million provided to IDA Ireland in 2015 through its research, development and innovation support programme; the project and description of which the funding was used for; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [25993/16]
View answerIn 2015, the Oireachtas allocated €98 million for Grants to Industry to IDA Ireland. Of this, the Agency paid €55,595,025 in Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) grants to IDA Ireland client companies. For reasons of commercial sensitivity, it is not possible to give details of the individual projects themselves but a breakdown of the payments is provided in the attached table.
Investments in RD&I play a significant role in building Ireland’s Smart Economy. RD&I investments not only embed existing operations and employment but pave the way for further investment and job creation.
Ireland’s dynamic RD&I sector is driven by an exceptional level of collaboration between industry, academia, government agencies and regulatory authorities. All stakeholders work together, building a national team to consolidate Ireland’s position as a knowledge-based economy and as a primary location for RD&I. The active co-operation of a highly skilled workforce allied with world class research, development and innovation (RD&I) facilities will help ensure that ambitious national job creation targets are achieved.
IDA Ireland also continues to place a strong focus on transformation within client companies, and has continued to work with existing clients on up-skilling programmes, investments in technology uplift and new process developments, in order to deepen their commitment to Ireland. This encourages further business in areas which are compatible with our skills base and which are sustainable within our economy in the longer term.
