In order to foster business development and to bridge financial gaps faced by new sustainable energy ventures, SEAI is considering funding up to ten high potential new and existing ventures through their incubation process. This Sustainable Energy Incubator Programme allows for the funding of annual incubation fees and some supplementary business-support activities for business ventures operating in areas directly related to sustainable energy and climate change. Applicants should be aware that these new ventures must be located within one of the eligible business incubation centres as identified within the Programme Guide for Applicants (Annex 1).
Indicative examples of priority thematic areas identified for 2008 include:
- Bioenergy
- Ocean and wind energy
- Microgeneration
- Energy efficiency and demand reduction
- Fuel cells and hydrogen
Each application will be assessed based on the defined evaluation criteria. This includes the technical excellence and market impact potential of the business venture along with its project management and delivery capabilities.
