Spark Seed - micro-funding and design tools to start a project

Spark Seed enables frontline healthcare workers to apply for micro funding (up to €5,000 per individual or group) for innovative projects that have the potential to improve our health service.

We welcome ideas from doctors (NCHDs and consultants), nurses, midwives and HSCPs. Previous applicants may apply with new or revised innovation projects.

How to apply

Spark Seed is getting a makeover!

We listened to our frontline innovators and are excited to bring you a new and improved Spark Seed experience in the coming months. In the meantime, keep note of your innovative ideas and have them ready for the next iteration of Spark Seed, launching in autumn 2025.
