The deadline of 23 June for entry to this year’s Innovation arena at the National Ploughing Championship is fast approaching.

The NPA Innovation Arena is the ideal place to demonstrate ground-breaking developments, whether they are back-yard inventions or professional innovations. As well as being in with a chance to win part of the prize fund of €80,000, it will give access to hundreds of thousands of potential customers.

Enterprise Ireland (EI) is bringing buyers from across the world to attend the event. A dedicated seminar will allow EI clients and potential innovators learn about the potential for growth in the global market. Specialist speakers will deliver short presentations on what they see as the potential for Irish products from New York to Sydney.

In the biggest ever innovation marquee, the pride of Irish machinery manufacturing innovation will be showcased down the centre, surrounded by smaller stands. An innovation bootcamp training day to get business ready for the main event at the National Ploughing association is a new feature this year.

All potential Innovators from all stages of business development can apply online at www.innovationarena.ie
