In September of last year, An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar joined with members of the business community across Carlow and its environs to recognise the great innovation, talent, quality and entrepreneurial spirit of businesses and the people within Carlow. Winners on the night included businesses like Ballyshane Studio as Best Startup, Daniel Whelan Engineering for Rural Innovation and Autolaunch as Business of the Year.
