Every publicly funded programme, agency, fund and network that supports innovation, in one place and described in one common language. Search by what you need, then go straight to the right door.
Ireland alone has hundreds of publicly funded bodies whose job is to help businesses innovate. For the owner of a small firm or an individual trying to figure out where to get help with their idea, that landscape can look confusing.
Novatlas fills in the map, so the help that exists reaches the people it was built for.
Describe your challenge in plain words, or browse by stage, sector and type of support.
Every agency, programme and fund that fits, described the same way, so you can compare like with like.
Each entry links straight to the provider and shows the date it was last verified.
Find funding, advice, skills and research partners without needing to know the system first.
List your programmes once, keep them current through a verified update process, and reach the people you were set up to serve.
This map started small in Ireland, trying to find help for a small business client. Every time a shiny new building went up close to a university, or a new scheme was announced on LinkedIn, we got curious and tried to find out what was available. Today’s map is a bigger version of that first, small search and it grows every day.
This is an open data map. Anyone can access the map, and the rules for appearing on it are published.
Every entry is traceable, with the date it was last verified.
Every support is described the same way, and none is ranked above another.
One shared taxonomy, so supports in different places can be found and compared the same way.
Novatlas grows edition by edition on a single shared taxonomy, with each country or region having its own page.
Hundreds of publicly funded supports, mapped and described in one common language.
The next edition, in testing: 196 organisations from Startup Lithuania's map, connected through shared EU research projects.
Agencies and regional authorities can bring Novatlas to their own patch, built on the same taxonomy and open by default.
