Two similar female entrepreneurship funds were launched last year and attracted more than 200 applications

A NEW €250,000 batch of start-up funding has been launched for female entrepreneurs following big demand for previous similar funds.

The money will be provided by Enterprise Ireland in the form of a Competitive Feasibility Fund.

It is designed to allow entrepreneurs investigate the viability of new growth-orientated businesses which are export-orientated.

It is targeted at women in manufacturing start-ups and internationally traded services businesses including internet, games, apps, cloud computing, enterprise software, lifesciences, food, consumer products, medical devices and e-health.

A second batch will also be launched in September.

Two similar female entrepreneurship funds were launched last year and attracted more than 200 applications. Of these, 30 received funding.
