International Growth Programme: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how this programme provides mentorship and consultancy to help Irish companies scale their operations internationally.

The International Growth Programme is a support initiative designed to help companies expand their business reach beyond the local market and into international territories.

Who it's for

This programme is specifically aimed at companies that have reached a stage where they are ready to scale internationally. It is intended for businesses that have moved past the initial startup phase and are now looking to grow their footprint in global markets.

What you get

Participants in the programme receive dedicated mentorship and consultancy support. This professional guidance is intended to help business leaders navigate the specific challenges and complexities that arise when moving from a local market into larger, more diverse international landscapes. The support focuses on providing the strategic oversight needed to manage growth successfully.

What it costs you

There is a time commitment required to participate in this programme. Specifically, you will need to dedicate time to attend various workshops designed to facilitate your company's growth and help you implement new strategies.

The catch to know

The most important thing to keep in mind is that there is a highly selective entry process. Because the programme offers specialized consultancy and mentorship, it is not open to everyone; the selection process ensures that only the companies most ready for rapid international expansion are admitted.

How to apply

  1. Assess your company's current stage to ensure you are ready for international scaling.
  2. Prepare your business details to demonstrate your readiness for global competition.
  3. Contact the issuing agency to learn more about the selection criteria and application steps.
