And that's a wrap! Our week at the Innovation Arena, in review.
As we conclude on our partaking in The Innovation Arena, at the National and World Ploughing Championships 2022, we look back on what was a very enjoyable and successful week.
Monday, 19th September - The Innovation Arena Awards 2022.
The week kicked off with Dotser attending the Innovation Arena Awards 2022.
The Innovation Arena Awards, which is run in partnership with the National Ploughing Association, invited businesses and innovators in the agri-tech sector to enter their pioneering agri-related products and services for the judges’ consideration.
There were a number of prizes across several categories, and those who are short-listed were invited to showcase their products and innovative agri-tech solutions at the ‘Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena’ alongside the winners from the virtual competition in 2020 and 2021.
Dotser's Dotser Agri product was proudly shortlisted for the Farm Management Software.
At 3.30pm the Innovation Awards ceremony took place where the winners were announced.

Wednesday, 21st September - A special reception with New Zealand Ambassador to Ireland, Brad Burgess.
Dotser was invited by HE Brad Burgess, New Zealand Ambassador to Ireland, to a reception to celebrate New Zealand and Ireland's partnership in farming, research and food production.
It was a pleasure and honour to be at this event networking with other globally ambitious companies, and we were delighted that our partnership with the New Zealand Agricultural Show was highly commended.
A highly successful day for the National and World Championships with a daily attendance record set at 115,500.
Thursday -22nd September - A visit by EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness.
Dotser was delighted to be visited and interviewed by Mairead McGuinness, European Commissioner for Financial Stability, Financial Services and the Capital Markets Unions. We chatted about our work to date and expansion plans, and we were congratulated and applauded for our expansion into New Zealand market.
It may have been a wet day, but with a crowd of over 70,000 in attendance we can confirm another successful day was had by all. As Mairead said, the rain just dampens the dust!
To this end, the Innovation Arena was a highly successful event for Dotser and we encourage other ambitious companies in the agri industry to take part. We cannot wait to apply for the Innovation Arena Awards 2023.
