Mullingar Employment Action Group was formed resulting from a public meeting held in 1986 in Mullingar, in an effort to respond to the high level of unemployment which existed in the area. 

A Limited Liability Company, Mullingar Employment Action Group was established in 1990, when a new purpose built Enterprise Centre was established in Bishopsgate St. Mullingar comprising of some 19 enterprise units.

In a follow up phase of development, through a new company, ‘Mullingar Enterprise Technology and Innovation Centre Ltd., MEAG further developed the job and enterprise creation concept in a brand new Enterprise Centre at Clonmore Industrial Estate in Mullingar. This new Enterprise Centre, comprising of 12 larger units (500-100 square foot) was opened in 2008.
