Ignite NI offers:

• a further £5,000 support if the company needs to relocate to take part in the scheme

• a chance to attend trips to London, San Francisco and Dublin to explore export markets.

The programme also provides opportunities to meet experienced mentors, founders and investors from across the UK and Ireland to firms fast-forward their operations

The opportunity is open to both local companies and those willing to relocate to Northern Ireland.

Applications are now open and will close on 10 January 2020.
