The National Inventions Competition: Agventions, proudly sponsored by Herdwatch, is back and bigger than ever. Taking place at this year’s Tullamore Show on Sunday, August 10th, this unique contest is on the lookout for Ireland’s most innovative minds in agriculture. Whether you’re a farmer, engineer, student, or agri-enthusiast, if you’ve created something to make life easier on the land, we want to hear from you.
What Is Agventions?
Agventions is all about celebrating innovation in Irish agriculture. This exciting competition offers a national platform for inventors to present their agri-related creations — from simple time-saving tools to groundbreaking tech solutions. Past winners have ranged from handcrafted feeding aids to AI-powered farm management devices.
If your idea has the potential to improve efficiency, safety, or sustainability on farms, then you could be Ireland’s next big Agventor.
Why Enter?
Not only is Agventions a fantastic opportunity to get your invention in front of thousands of show attendees — including farmers, media, and industry leaders — but there’s also up to €5,000 cash prize fund for the winners, along with national publicity and the support of Herdwatch in promoting your innovation.
Plus, selected entries will be exhibited in the Agventions Zone at the Tullamore Show, giving you the perfect platform to demo your creation and connect with potential users, collaborators, and investors.

Whether it’s high-tech or handcrafted, what matters most is practical impact and original thinking.
