The Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment (DETE) has launched a further call for the Online Retail Scheme aiming to encourage the retail sector, including pharmacies, in Ireland 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.
This is a Competitive Fund which will be administered by Enterprise Ireland on behalf of DETE with a total fund size of €3.4m.
The grant available is calculated at a maximum of 50% of eligible expenditure of up to €50,000 (€25,000 maximum grant).
The minimum project expenditure is €20,000 (minimum grant is €10,000).
Retailers that have been approved for two projects (or more) in previous Online Retail Scheme calls are not eligible to apply for this call.
The applicant must be an Irish based enterprise that has 10 or more full-time employees.
The Online Retail Scheme is open to applications up to 3 May 2023. Further details are available here.
