Shared Island Enterprise Scheme
Supports all-island enterprise teams across the Irish Sea with women's entrepreneurship, cluster building, and investment readiness.
The Shared Island Enterprise Scheme is a €30 million all-island initiative funded by the Irish Government and co-delivered by Invest NI, InterTradeIreland, and Enterprise Ireland. For Northern Ireland businesses it provides three streams: women's entrepreneurship programmes (WeBuild for early-stage, WeGrow for expansion, WeScale for international growth), cross-border cluster development, and green investment grants. The Shared Island Sustainability Capital Grant sub-stream (requiring minimum £5m capital spend) is currently closed. Award amounts for the entrepreneurship and cluster streams are not published on the programme page.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
