Female entrepreneurs in Ireland are at the forefront of groundbreaking advancements in disruptive technologies, driving industry transformation and shaping the future. Many of the 105 successful projects funded through the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment’s Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF) are led by women who are redefining industry standards and pushing technological boundaries. Their leadership in deep tech and research-driven innovation—spanning artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and sustainable energy—not only fuels progress but also promotes a more inclusive and diverse technology sector.
DTIF Call 7 is open for applications until 30 April, with more exciting project applications from some of Ireland’s leading female entrepreneurs expected by that deadline.
