Unlock R&D Tax Credits to Fuel Your Startup's Growth

Watch the webinar above to learn how your startup could claim up to 35% of its R&D spend back as cash or tax relief - one of Ireland's most valuable, and most overlooked, funding supports for early-stage and scaling companies.

Is Your Startup Missing Out on Hidden Funding?

R&D tax credits are one of Ireland's most valuable innovation supports for startups and scaling technology companies, yet they're often misunderstood or overlooked in the early stages of growth. Since Budget 2026, the credit rate stands at 35% of qualifying R&D expenditure, up from 30% - meaning businesses can receive more back as a cash refund than ever before. For early-stage and scaling startups, this is one of the most direct, non-dilutive funding routes available.

In this free, expert-led session, we break down the fundamentals of the R&D Tax Credit regime in clear, practical terms, with examples relevant to software, AI, and product-led startups.
