This news comes almost 4 years to the day since we re-launched @NDRC_hq promising "A New Era of Entrepreneurship". I'm so proud of what @pwlsh & team have achieved since - 950 startups supported and more than €200m raised by NDRC startups. Always founder-first to the core.
After 20 years supporting tech startups, the DECC will not procure a new service contract for NDRC post-Nov 2025. Operations will continue as usual until November 2025, and there are plans in place to manage and support ongoing investments.
