Over half a million euro has been allocated to seven Kerry business hubs.

It’s part of €8 million in grants announced by Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Leo Varadkar under Enterprise Ireland’s Enterprise Centres Fund.

These centres or co-working hubs provide space for entrepreneurs to work remotely, access training and advice, and network with other businesses.

This funding will help co-working hubs to continue to offer services, and implement a recovery plan for businesses within their remit over the next six to twelve months.

The fund was open to both not-for-profit and for-profit enterprise centres, which have seen their income significantly impacted by COVID-19.

In Kerry, seven hubs are to benefit from a total of €557,469 funding.
