The investment will see the development of renewable biological resource projects.
€10m is being invested to help the agri-food system to become more circular, sustainable, and resilient in the midlands.
The funding is being given through EU Just Transition Fund to improve the bioeconomy, in Laois, Offaly and Westmeath, and surrounding counties.
It's to encourage people to use renewable biological resources from land, crops, forests, fish, animals and micro-organisms to produce food, materials and energy.
Applications for the projects are open now and will close on October 13th.
Super Junior Minister at the Department of Agriculture, midlands Senator Pippa Hackett says the project they are looking for will need to be scaled up, using new research and knowledge:
