Our third Corporate Plan covers the period 2008-2011. We developed this Plan within the strategic framework set out in DETI’s Corporate Plan and the Programme for Government.

The priority of our Corporate Plan is to increase business productivity by:

  • realising the potential of existing businesses;
  • shifting the sectoral focus towards higher value-added sectors; and
  • nurturing the development of frontier technologies, such as biotechnology, both in our companies and in universities.

To achieve this we will:

  • increasingly target resources towards higher value-added activity;
  • spend 39 per cent more to support ambitious locally-owned clients;
  • spend 29 per cent more to support research, development and innovation;
  • increase support for new business starts by 25 per cent; and
  • substantially increase our spending on land acquisition to support our clients’ growth ambitions.
