Are you at the helm of a high-potential start-up or SME? This is your chance to win a prize worth up to €150,000 to accelerate your business to a whole new level.

Calling all dynamic Irish entrepreneurs and business leaders, The Pitch is returning this September – and it has the biggest prize fund yet!

A fast-paced, adrenaline rush of a live event, The Pitch is hosted by IMAGE Media and powered by Samsung. It’s a process that culminates on stage, where you’ll get seven minutes to pitch to our judges in a battle to win a game-changing suite of prizes.

Last year, after impressing the judges of The Pitch 2024 with their business journey and live pitch, Platform 55 took home the incredible prize worth €100,000 –  a suite of Samsung technology, along with an IMAGE media campaign to help promote their business.

This year, we’ve elevated The Pitch prize to be worth up to a whopping €150,000 value, including:

  • A Samsung technology package to benefit your business
  • A multi-channel media campaign with IMAGE
  • A mentoring package with Bobby Kerr & Áine Kerr, two of Ireland’s leading business minds
