Local entrepreneurs could get a huge cash boost for their businesses thanks to a prize fund of €280,000 being offered by InterTradeIreland’s All-Island Seedcorn Business Competition 2010. The competition is the largest on the island in terms of the prize fund available and in the past has helped give fledgling firms a ‘lift-off’.
This year, the two top categories – Best High Growth Company and Best Emerging Company – stand to win €100,000 and €50,000 respectively. There are also six regional prizes of €20,000 each and one Best Spinout prize of €10,000. Closing date for submissions is Friday September 17.
