Justification
Current enterprise agencies’ (EI and IDA) strategies focus on growing broader-based innovation capacity in enterprise to drive higher productivity performance. Government investment in R&I now approaches €1 billion per annum and the national R&I strategy, Impact 2030, will target an overall research intensity rate of 2.5% of GNI*. Structural economic change is a persistent feature of Ireland’s development over the past 30 years, more so than in most other OECD members. Ireland’s ability to adapt to demographic, economic and technological trends has coincided with growing innovation activity, increased infrastructural support for RD&I and the expanding role of technology in its economy. Major elements of current industrial transition, namely digitalisation and the green transition, are supported by numerous policies and initiatives. These mechanisms include Future Manufacturing Ireland, clusters, EDIHs, remote working hubs, the AI strategy, Our Rural Future, the NRRP, the EU Just Transition Fund and the Climate Action Plan 2021. Along with improved co-ordination between these existing mechanisms and new supports financed by ERDF, S3 will guide
