The majority of projects are co-funded through the innovation supports available from Enterprise Ireland. However IMaR also provides direct consultancy, development services and customised training programmes. IMaR works with clients to establish a thorough understanding of their technical requirements and commercial objectives, and thereafter, we collaboratively scope the project including clear deliverables and milestones. Having identified with the client the most appropriate funding mechanism, IMaR will prepare any necessary funding applications.
