Alex Martin, Director at Miura Regtech said; “We're delighted to win the ‘Best New Start’ company in the Munster final. A big thank you to the Team at Arclabs in Waterford and the team at NDRC, without whom, this could not have been possible and a big thank you to InterTradeIreland, the Seedcorn competition is a credit to them. We had a very positive VC meeting the day after the final, and none of that would have happened without the training and the work we had to put into the Seedcorn competition."

Congratulations to Miura Regtech, they demonstrated vision, innovation and passion, all of which the judges look for when assessing the potential and longevity of a business. I wish them luck as they embark on competition’s overall final.”
