Businesses in Omagh and the surrounding region have a new opportunity to grow through collaboration, innovation, and support. The Cluster Acceleration Programme, designed by Invest Northern Ireland, is now open for applications – and it could be a game-changer for local companies seeking to scale and strengthen their industry connections.
The programme is designed to support the development of industry clusters – groups of businesses and stakeholders working together around a shared interest or sector. By building these clusters, companies can benefit from shared learning, increased visibility, access to funding, and stronger networks across Northern Ireland and beyond.
Why join the Cluster Acceleration Programme?
Businesses will benefit from the programme on two levels:
- Phase One Feasibility Study – up to £55,000 for networks of 8-10 SMEs to explore innovative projects
- Phase Two Cluster Project – up to £1,000,000 for selected clusters from Phase One studies
Who Should Apply:
- Businesses in the Omagh area, and further afield, with shared interests or supply chain links\
- Trade bodies, business networks, or partnerships
- Organisations that want to lead or co-ordinate a local business cluster
Applications close at 12 noon on Friday 31 May 2025, so if you’re ready to work together for growth, now is the time to act.
