How the Grow Digital Grant can help your business.

What Is the Grow Digital Grant?

The Grow Digital Voucher provides up to 50% of the cost of your digital project, capped at €5,000.

It’s the successor to the Trading Online Voucher, but with a wider scope. Instead of just covering websites and e-commerce, it now includes a much broader range of tools — from CRM software to AI-powered analytics.

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible if your business:

  • Has 50 employees or fewer

  • Has been trading for at least 6 months

  • Is not already supported by Enterprise Ireland or IDA

  • Meets tax clearance requirements

  • Operates in an eligible sector (certain industries like charities or some agriculture sectors are excluded)

How Do I Apply for the Grow Digital Grant?

The process is straightforward and designed to give you help at every step:

  1. Reach out to your Local Enterprise Office (LEO):
    Let them know you’re interested in the Grow Digital Voucher.
    Find your Local Enterprise Office here.

  2. Complete a Digital Readiness Assessment:
    This short questionnaire helps assess your current digital setup.
    Take the 5-minute Grow Digital Self-Assessment here.
    You can also be assigned a free digital consultant through your LEO, who will help you identify which systems will deliver the best results for your business.

  3. Prepare a Project Proposal:
    Based on your assessment, outline your digital project and collect quotes from service providers.
    Don’t skip straight here — Steps 1 & 2 may reveal solutions you hadn’t considered yet.

  4. Submit Your Application:
    Send your proposal and supporting documents to your LEO for review.

  5. Ongoing Support:
    Your LEO will guide you through the process, answer questions about your project, and ensure everything runs smoothly.
