In association with The Interceltic Business Forum, OCO Global is delighted to announce the launch of the Interceltic Scaling Awards, a competition for Celtic SMEs operating in Technology, Manufacturing, or Services. The awards aim to celebrate the diverse, innovative, and thriving businesses across the Celtic regions.

The awards will recognise Celtic businesses for their ambition and achievements and will be open to start-ups and scale-ups across the Celtic Regions. Hosted in Lorient, Brittany, on the 12th of August 2024, during the Interceltic Business Forum, part of the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, this is your chance to elevate your brand on a distinguished platform and gain well-deserved recognition for your contributions to the Celtic industry.

Applications are now open!

The most compelling company from each Celtic region will be shortlisted for the final. They will then engage in an interview session with judges, during which they will present their value proposition and answer questions.

The five finalists will travel to Lorient, with their travel and accommodation costs paid. There, they will have PR and networking opportunities as representatives of their region.

Finalists will receive awards including:

• €20K funding (winner)
• €5K funding support ( 2 runners-up)
• Mentoring by OCO Global & Partner Organisations
• Incubation/soft landing support in partnering Celtic region
• Invitation to the Festival Interceltique de Lorient
