Entrepreneurs from Northern Ireland could get a huge cash boost for their business as cross-border body InterTradeIreland launches its Seedcorn Business Competition 2018.
There is a total prize fund of €280,000 (£244k) on offer from the competition, with firms getting a cash injection of up to €100,000 (£87k) to help them develop.
InterTrade said that with seed finance hard to attract, "this competition is an opportunity for ambitious start-ups to get their new ideas off the ground".
The programme also provides support and advice from investment experts through a programme modelled on a real venture capital process.
