The Low Carbon prize recognises start-ups innovating within the low carbon and green sector. Seedcorn is the island of Ireland’s biggest business competition for innovative new start and early stage businesses, with a record total prize fund of €300,000 this year.

GlasPort Bio develops technology focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.
