Over 30 small businesses will have a presence at the National Ploughing Championship as part of the Local Enterprise Village.
Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys said the stand will provide a snapshot of the “cream of the crop of Ireland’s small businesses”.
Each of the small businesses to feature are a client of one of the 31 Local Enterprise Offices across the country.
The products and services on show at the Ploughing will include food, fashion, agtech products, farm safety equipment, board games, sportswear, and skincare. A chance to exhibit at the event would not be financially viable for most small businesses outside the umbrella of the Local Enterprise Offices.
