The IMaR Technology Gateway is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union
through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27.

The IMaR Technology Gateway is IMaR’s outward facing business development arm which engages with and provides research, development & innovation support to Irish industry.

Our principal theme is the synergy between mechanical, electronic, RFID and IIoT technologies for industrial applications in the highly technological manufacturing industry driven by new technology, innovation and global demand. The research activities within IMaR range from the development and integration of mechatronic and embedded systems, sensors, automation, instrumentation and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) to developing complete software solutions for intelligent systems.

The IMaR Technology Gateway provides:

    • Technology solutions for the close-to-market needs of Irish industry;
    • An open access point providing technology expertise which is industry relevant;
    • A portal to wider expertise on a national level through the Technology Gateway Network.

The Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme is run in partnership with Technological Universities and Institutes of Technology across Ireland – successfully delivering expertise and solutions for industrial partners in a time scale that industry expects.
