Key point
OpenAI has launched 'OpenAI for Ireland' in collaboration with the Irish government and local partners to support SMEs and founders.

OpenAI announced the 'OpenAI for Ireland' initiative in partnership with the Irish government, Dogpatch Labs, and Patch, aimed at helping Ireland's SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and founders innovate and grow using AI.
The key programs are as follows:
- SME Booster (launching in 2026): In collaboration with Ireland's Department of Enterprise, this program provides hands-on AI skills training, workshops, and live mentoring for SMEs. Free online training through the OpenAI Academy will also be offered alongside it.
- Startup Support: Through a partnership with Dogpatch Labs, early-stage founders will be provided with hands-on sessions and access to an expert network to help them integrate AI into their products and workflows.
- Next-Generation Talent Development: A three-year partnership has been signed with Patch, a nonprofit that supports founders aged 16-21, to provide fellowships and grants that help young builders prototype and develop AI products.
This initiative aims to help Ireland secure long-term leadership in AI, beyond its position as a dynamic digital economy in Europe.
