Home : Propel from Invest NI

Propel is a business support programme provided by Invest Northern Ireland designed to help export focused start up businesses.

Propel aims to educate, to challenge, to support and above all to get the best out of the business owner and accelerate the growth of their business.

Propel is not simply a training course. It is a programme that sets rigorous challenges to the participants. It is designed for entrepreneurs with business ideas that have export potential and the ability to scale up within 12 months. The programme of support will not suit every business. It is specifically for business ideas that are innovative, are knowledge based and can demonstrate the potential to export and create local employment.

Invest NI are now looking for the best, and most innovative entrepreneurs in Northern Ireland. People who want to test themselves, their business idea and their ambition. In return the support provided will help you build an export/global/scalable company, and will give you access to mentors and business advice that can truly change your business's future.

The Propel programme will assist you in taking your original idea and turning it into a 'real business'.

So if you have a game changing idea or an innovative technology or product/service, then Propel is for you. We want to provide ambitious entrepreneurs based in Northern Ireland with the necessary business skills, expertise, contacts and facilities to establish a successful business for the international market.

Propel is now closed for new applications.
