The Design & Crafts Council Ireland is encouraging small businesses to apply for the Irish Business Design Challenge, which celebrates businesses that use sustainable design to add value, repurpose products, and tackle societal and environmental challenges. The competition has a prize fund of over €50,000 and is open to businesses of all sizes. A panel of judges, including fashion designer Róisín Pierce and head of sustainability at PA Consulting Glynn Griffiths, will select winners in three categories: micro, small, and medium.
