The Department of Enterprise Trade and Employment (DETE) has proposed a further call for Online Retail Scheme applications, aiming to encourage the retail sector in Ireland to develop a more competitive online offer that will enable an increase in their customer base and build a more resilient business in the domestic and global marketplace both online and offline. This is a Competitive Fund which will be administered by Enterprise Ireland on behalf of DETE with a total fund size of €9.3m. Applications will close at 12 noon on Wednesday 1st June 2022.

BDO are delighted to invite you to our upcoming webinar on Tuesday, 17th May at 12 noon, where we will update you on the new call under the Online Retail Scheme. The 30 minute briefing will broadly cover:

• How to access funds from the scheme
• A detailed framework and process to design, develop and enhance your company's capability to use eCommerce.

The webinar will be chaired by Conor MacManus, Director of Technology at BDO and will feature guest speaker Vinny O'Brien, eCommerce expert. This interactive and practical session will also feature a brief Q&A session following the presentations where you will have the opportunity to submit any questions.
