Irish Expansion Featured in The Impartial Reporter

We’re delighted to share that Minerva Innovation Group has been featured in The Impartial Reporter, one of Ireland’s oldest and most trusted regional news titles.

The feature explores our continued growth, expansion into Ireland, and commitment to helping innovative businesses access the R&D funding they deserve. It also highlights the specialist expertise, ethical approach and sector knowledge that have helped us become a trusted partner to businesses tackling complex technical challenges.

Founded by Adam Pearce, the company was built on the belief that R&D tax relief should be delivered ethically, accurately and by people who genuinely understand the technical work being claimed. This approach has been recognised by the Scottish Parliament, which acknowledged the company's ethical approach and economic impact within the R&D funding sector.

A key theme of the feature is the importance of technical expertise when assessing innovative work. Alongside tax and legal professionals, our team includes scientists, engineers and software specialists, ensuring innovative projects are reviewed by people who understand the technical challenges businesses face. Every employee at Minerva Innovation Group with a science, engineering, or software degree has graduated with a First-Class degree or Distinction.

Many businesses overlook the fact that R&D does not only happen in laboratories. Innovation can be found in overcoming technical uncertainty, solving complex problems and developing improvements to products, processes or services. As a result, qualifying R&D activity takes place across a wide range of sectors, from farming and veterinary medicine to engineering, software and advanced manufacturing.

Watch the interview below to hear Adam discuss why many innovative businesses underestimate their eligibility for R&D tax relief and how specialist expertise can help unlock valuable funding opportunities.

For many businesses, the financial impact can be significant. In 2025, Minerva Innovation Group produced average R&D benefits of approximately €5,000 per employee in Ireland and £2,000 per employee in the UK.

We're proud to see our work recognised by such a respected publication and remain committed to helping innovative businesses identify, evidence and secure the funding they are entitled to.
