There are schemes to support sustainable solutions and to help businesses grow.
The deadline is approaching for midlands businesses to apply for two development programmes.
Bord Na Móna is seeking applicants for its Accelerate Green 'START and 'GROW' schemes, with the closing date on September 19th.
START supports earlier-stage businesses in scaling their sustainable solutions, while GROW is suitable for early-stage enterprises and SMEs looking to scale, and will commence in January.
