Roscommon Agri-Tech Company Reaches National Ploughing Championships Final
A technology company based in County Roscommon has received national recognition for its work in the agricultural sector. VetPal, an agri-tech firm, has been named a finalist in the prestigious Innovation Arena competition at this year’s National Ploughing Championships.
The National Ploughing Championships is one of Ireland’s largest annual events, bringing together farmers, businesses, and innovators from across the country. The Innovation Arena serves as a platform to showcase new products and services that aim to improve efficiency and sustainability in Irish farming.
VetPal has developed a new digital platform designed to change how veterinary prescriptions are managed. By moving the process online, the company aims to simplify the way farmers and veterinarians handle animal health records and medication requirements.
This digital solution is expected to save time for those working in the animal health sector by reducing paperwork and improving communication. The platform is one of several entries being judged on its potential to modernise traditional farming practices.
The winners of the Innovation Arena will be announced during the event, which takes place in September. Being selected as a finalist highlights the growing importance of technology in supporting the future of Irish agriculture.
