New options for SMEs

A roving team of environmental researchers will guide Ireland's small and medium sized enterprises towards the latest technologies, the International Fund for Ireland (IFI) said yesterday. The IFI said it would pay the QUESTOR environmental and industrial research centre, attached to Queen's University Belfast, £1 million to run the project. The fund said the team would tour the country, encouraging smaller businesses to examine spin off technologies that they would normally never see.
