Advanced Manufacturing grants in Ireland

Closed

Funds open-topic solutions — from AI tools to new business models — that help SMEs cut resource use and comply with green-transition rules.

Closed

Funds industry-academia consortia that refine and scale up the manufacturing process for one class of cell or gene therapy, from quality control through to deployment.

Closed

Funds around nine projects, each worth EUR 5 to 8 million, to recover secondary raw materials from industrial waste and end-of-use products.

Closed

Funds a physical demonstration that phases out fossil fuel from a heating-heavy industrial process using local renewable energy integration.

Closed

Funds research into wearable and cognitive augmentation technology that supports factory workers and makes manufacturing jobs safer and more human-centric.

Funds retrofitting an existing industrial or biorefinery plant to produce higher-value bio-based chemicals or materials than its old process line.

Closed

Funds talent-building and policy-overview work for the steel sector's near-zero-carbon transition, alongside the Research Fund for Coal & Steel's steel research topics.

Closed

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration steel-recycling and residue-valorisation projects reaching TRL 7-8, tied to the EU's Clean Industrial Deal.
