It was a great first day at the National Ploughing Championships for GlasPort Bio as we won the Green Impact Award in the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena.
As Enterprise Ireland said: "This award recognises a solution focused on sustaining the future of food and farming for generations to come."
Our CEO Justin McCarthy's pitch might have gone slightly over the time limit but James Maloney of Enterprise Ireland runs a tight ship and kept us right. It's great for companies like ours to have the support of Enterprise Ireland as we take inspiration from their pledge and take GasAbate global.
In keeping with that ambition, it was great to welcome The Netherlands Ambassador to Ireland Maaike van Koldam to our stand at the Ploughing.
Winning the Green Impact Award in the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena is a great endorsement for what we're trying to achieve at GlasPort Bio.
Our emissions-reducing technology is an ideal solution for the swine production systems in The Netherlands and it was great to take the Ambassador through how we can reduce emissions and improve pig performance on Dutch farms.
