To promote female entrepreneurship, Ireland’s Competitive Feasibility Fund for Female Entrepreneurs offers women-led early-stage companies with potential for success in global markets a grant to fund business feasibility studies, covering up to 50% of eligible expenditures. To avoid misuse of public resources, giant programmes frequently set precise conditions for their provision (e.g. conditions regarding the final use of the money, the requirement of private co-funding). Israel’s Programme for Companies to Establish R&D Centres in the Periphery promotes territorial inclusiveness by incentivising firms to locate innovation activities in less-developed regions.
