StartLocal is an incubator initiative designed to support Irish tech start-ups by providing innovative solutions for local merchants and SME’s over a period of six-months at the FCR Media offices on Baggot Street, Dublin.

Over the next few weeks FCR Media will select ten budding tech start-ups to join StartLocal and those lucky applicants will have access to:
