Irish BICs hosted a one-hour webinar with R&D Tax Solutions on Wednesday 9 September 2026, on how R&D tax credits can sit alongside PSSF, iHPSU and investor-readiness support.
The recording and full transcript are now on the webinar page.

What the session covered
Founders working with AxisBIC, Furthr, Propelor and WestBIC are often deep in product, market and investment conversations. R&D tax credits can be easy to park until later, and later is usually when the paperwork is hardest.
Alex walked through a practical hour on:
- What actually counts as R&D for a tax credit claim
- How credits can support cashflow on the way to investment
- What to document now so a claim is not a scramble later
- Where specialist advice sits alongside your local BIC
