The purpose of the online Retail Scheme is to enable Irish-owned retailers to enhance their digital capability and to develop a more competitive online offer that will enable an increase in their customer base and build a more resilient business in the domestic and global marketplace, both online and offline.
The recent COVID-19 Online Retail Scheme is implemented by Enterprise Ireland on behalf of my Department in response to the COVID-19 crisis and the urgent need for retail companies to achieve a step change in online capability.
