INVENT 2021 Awards Night

INVENT celebrates innovation in Northern Ireland and 2020 has been no different, during these extraordinary times we have moved online.

Entrepreneurship is very much at the forefront of peoples' minds and innovation is needed now more than ever. We have seen an amazing number of local innovators compete through several stages and judged by a world-leading expert panel as they seek to win a share of the £33,000 prize fund.

The awards night will capture our 12 finalists' journey, showcasing them through exciting videos and the popular elevator pitches before announcing the winners of 2020.

This year we created a special new category, the '2020 Innovators Award' which will celebrate how local companies and innovation communities have collaborated, pivoted and leaned into the challenges COVD-19 presented.

Supported by Bank of Ireland UK, join us online for 60 minutes of excitement and a true celebration of innovation in Northern Ireland. The event is free to attend so
