Firms urged to compete for fund

Early stage and high growth companies are invited to compete for the €280,000 prize fund in InterTradeIreland’s All-island Seedcorn Business Competition.

Now in its 10th year, InterTradeIreland has supported over 1,500 enterprising companies through the Seedcorn process.

The competition mirrors the real-life investment process, and helps companies to ensure they are investor-ready. Companies submit their business plan and, if short-listed, are invited to deliver an investment pitch in front of the judging panel comprising of venture capitalists, business angels and some of the island’s leading industry experts and entrepreneurs.
