The NPA Innovation Arena puts inventions from Ireland on show to the world and helps establish their success by introducing them to the marketplace and facilitating networks that will help them take steps towards achieving commercial success.
In the build-up to this year’s Ploughing championships, each day we profile four of the innovators.

A bale clamp adds to safety and stops bales hopping off when you hit the bumps.
