A company who has created an AI patient care system that can eliminate inefficiencies in patient appointments has taken the top prize at the National Enterprise Awards. SPRYT is a virtual assistant that can liaise directly with patients on appointments via simple SMS communications to ensure appointment completion and can effectively reallocate appointments in real-time to eliminate no shows and doctor and consultant wastage. The company was set up by Neill Dunwoody and Daragh Donohoe in 2022, supported by Local Enterprise Office Monaghan, and pilots of the company's ASA tool with the NHS have seen a 160% increase in appointment conversion rates. They have also seen a 260% increase in patient engagement using this tool, while removing 80-90% of the administration around appointments. The Awards, which are an initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices to celebrate the best small businesses in Ireland, were held at the Round Room in the Mansion House in Dublin in what is their 25th year. Alan Dillon,T.D., Minister of State for Employment, Small Business and Retail ,announced this year's winners in front of representatives from the Local Enterprise Offices, Enterprise Ireland and the Local Authorities and small businesses from across the country at the event.

These businesses are not only creating jobs - they are shaping the future of our local economies and communities. "Tonight's winners represent the very best of what Irish enterprise has to offer, and we remain committed to supporting them as they grow, compete, and thrive on both a national and global stage. These businesses are at the core of every town, village and community and are vital to our economy. We will ensure businesses continue to get the support they need to grow, prosper, and remain competitive," Kieran Comerford, Chair of the Local Enterprise Offices, said; "The National Enterprise Awards are a celebration of the very best of what Irish enterprise has to offer.

"We will no doubt see the winners here go on to do great things over the coming years but for every business that has made it to this point, it is validation that they have created an outstanding business. Entrepreneurship is the road less taken but we have to encourage more people to take that leap, and show them the benefits it can bring. "We have some amazing people across the country and many have started businesses that are taking on the world.

Global leaders in technology, innovation, and investment gathered today at the Round Room at the Mansion House, Dublin, for TechFoundHer Summit 2025 - Women Innovators Rise, a landmark event designed to accelerate the visibility and success of women-led tech ventures. Addressing the packed venue, Máirín Murray, Founder and CEO of TechFoundHer, called on the 300+ attendees to challenge outdated narratives around who leads in tech innovation: "Let's redefine tech innovation so everyone contributes and belongs. We are an all-island movement changing the narrative about what a tech innovator looks like, who has credibility, and who has the potential to create world-changing solutions. AI is transforming how we build technology - you don't need to be a coder. This is our moment to harness tech to solve the world's biggest challenges." Delivering the keynote address, Kelly Vero, celebrated game developer and metaverse pioneer, issued a rallying call to women tech founders: "There is no turning back. The real history of technology is a story of women rising alongside advancement. It's time to write the next chapter loudly, visibly, and without apology." The highlight of the day was the announcement of the first-ever TechFoundHer Breakthrough Awards, recognising women founders who participated in the TechFoundHer Innovation Labs programme. Announced by Elaine Patterson, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Programme Manager at InterTradeIreland, the winners were selected by a judging panel including Professor Maura McAdam and Dr Lollie Mancey. Elaine Patterson speaking at Summit said "Today's Breakthrough Awards celebrate the remarkable achievements of our TechFoundHer Innovation Labs participants - women who, as part of the Shared Island Enterprise Scheme's 'Women Entrepreneurship' pilot programmes, have turned bold ideas into working prototypes, secured vital funding, and generated real momentum. It's crucial that women innovators are recognised and placed in the spotlight, and these awards underscore how hands-on programmes like Innovation Labs can accelerate diverse tech solutions, offer invaluable networking opportunities, and drive lasting impact." The winners represent some of the most promising tech founders who are progressing impact driven solutions from the island of Ireland: Shelley Cowan, Founder of Travel Ease (Fermanagh) An inclusive travel tech platform improving accessibility for travellers with disabilities through verified accommodation grading. "TechFoundHer gave me more than a toolkit, it gave me a voice. As a disabled founder, I've often felt unheard in tech spaces. The Innovation Labs empowered me to lead confidently, value my perspective, and position Travel Ease as a solution driven by purpose and authenticity. It amplified my voice and helped me shape a startup that is both scalable and deeply human." Victoria Finlay, Founder of MenoPal (Dublin) An AI-powered healthtech solution transforming how over a billion women worldwide manage perimenopause and menopause symptoms. "I didn't begin this journey as a tech founder, but TechFoundHer changed the trajectory entirely. It gave me the tools and belief to lead a deep tech company as a non-technical founder. The MenoPal is live. I am leading it. And TechFoundHer is where everything changed." Claire Brannigan, Founder of Skinakin (Glengormley, Co. Antrim) A pioneering solution supporting families and clinicians managing childhood eczema through therapeutic products and data insights. "The Innovation Labs Programme helped me define the vision and technical roadmap for Skinakin. It expanded my view of what's possible, giving me the confidence, support, and tools to build a venture with long-term impact that helps families like my own." The awards spotlight the significant progress these women have made in just 12 weeks - proving the power of the redesigned and reimagined innovation support provided by the Innovation Labs programme that is supported and led by InterTrade...

Former Conservative MP and minister Mark Field speaks to host Alain Tolhurst about his new memoir The End Of An Era, which as the title suggests charts both his own time in politics as well as the waning fortunes of his party over the past 25 years. They discuss his reflections five years on from stepping down from the Commons, what the Tories got right as well as wrong in their time in office, how they might recover once more from last year's disastrous election, why he's voted for the losing candidate in every leadership contest stretching back to Ken Clarke, and the response to writing about his much-publicised affair with Liz Truss, and the incident at the Mansion House dinner in 2019 that led to the premature end of his ministerial career.

A Happy New Year to all our listeners!! In this episode of V-FM Pensions, Darren and Nico kick off the year with an in depth discussion of the UK Government's consultation on reforms to the Defined Contribution pension market. This consultation is part of the Mansion House package of measures published on 14 November 2024. We chat through the main elements of the consultation including: the (flawed?) premise behind the Mansion House agenda; what scale really means and what we actually mean by a default; bulk transfers without consent; and the role of employers and advisers in choosing a pension scheme. This is our response to the Government's consultation. Fair to say it asks more questions than it answers, but we hope it helps and that others find it useful as they go about pulling together their own responses.

After a few weeks break due to illness, V-FM Pensions is back for a Christmas special where Darren and Nico chat about Pensions and the Mansions House reforms and look forward to 2025.   Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our listeners. Here's to a fantastic 2025!

DreamDev Technologies, a software company from Kildare who have developed a new AI augmented platform helping companies to significantly increase their product's time to market, have been named Overall Winner at this year's National Enterprise Awards last night. DreamDev Technologies, established by Eoin Barry and Douglas Augiar, are the third Kildare winner of the National Enterprise of the Year Award in the last six years following on from Terra NutriTech in 2018 and Pestle & Mortar in 2019. The Awards, which are an initiative of the Local Enterprise Offices to celebrate the best small businesses in Ireland, were held at the Round Room in the Mansion House in Dublin in what is their 24th year. Peter Burke, T.D., Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, announced this year's winners in front of representatives from the Local Enterprise Offices, Enterprise Ireland and the Local Authorities and small businesses from across the country at the event. DreamDev was set up in 2019 with the aim of utilising online tools and software to enable faster digitalisation for companies. Their flagship product, 'the dot-star enterprise' software platform enables software engineering teams to create their own bespoke software programmes which deliver results with significantly reduced resourcing requirements. Announcing the award winners at the Mansion House and after earlier launching the new Local Enterprise Office Policy Statement, Minister Burke said; "The National Enterprise Awards are the highlight of the small business and enterprise calendar. Year on year the diversity of businesses and the standard of companies that are coming through the process is getting stronger. We should not be surprised given the innovation and endurance that businesses have shown in recent years. We have some outstanding winners but the finalists on the whole have been excellent, and this is very much the start of their journey. "The new Local Enterprise Office Policy Statement I announced today sets out the vital role that LEOs have in fostering entrepreneurship and helping small businesses thrive every day across the country. The Policy Statement charts a clear roadmap of how LEOs will align their work with the priorities of the White Paper on Enterprise and ensure that their high-calibre offering continues into the future. I pay tribute to the great work of the current and former staff of the LEOs who, over the last 10 years, have helped and guided small businesses in Ireland which are at the heart of every town, village and community and are vital to our economy." John Magee, Chair of the network of Local Enterprise Offices, said; "The National Enterprise Awards are the standard bearer for the very best of small businesses in Ireland. You can see from previous winners that this is the first step on a bigger journey and it opens many doors for them nationally and internationally. Across the Finalists and winners you see a great diversity of businesses covering a range of sectors. The entrepreneurship eco-system is extremely healthy and these businesses are a testament to that. "These entrepreneurs are inspired to create businesses and employment in their own areas and to establish businesses that can not only compete here but globally. It's a honour to be able to work with these businesses on a day-to-day basis and we look forward to seeing what all the finalists do in the coming years."

Joe's tales of crystals and their magic powers returns but it's coming up against some opposition this week, and he has a fight on his hands to win over the crowd. However, he has won over one local cat, who appears to be drawn to the high vibrations inside Joe's house.There's a lesson on quantum physics for Darren, some theories on “the sound of the universe”, and a disappointing (for Darren) crash course in Egyptian history.As Darren finds himself nominated as one of Dublin's most loved celebrity we ask if the idea of him becoming Mayor of Dublin is really that far-fetched?

Today's episode is the start of a new podcast series discussing where your pension money is going starting with the recent proposals by Jeremy Hunt at the Mansion House speech. Should pension savers and private investors be concerned about this proposal to direct billions of pension money towards UK small caps and unlisted companies? What will it mean for pension savers and private investors? Will these proposed billions lead to a bubble in small caps and unlisted companies with the inevitable crash, or will it lead to a whole host of new yet-to-be-formed companies that pension savers, private investors and UK PLC will benefit from? As always with these types of proposals there will be winners and losers, will it be regular pension savers, private investors, private equity, or UK PLC? Timestamps: 1:30 UK stock market news 3:00 New company listings on the stock market. 4:15 What potential impacts will the mansion house speech have on UK small caps? 6:45 What does Jeremy Hunt mean when he says high-growth unlisted companies? 8:45 Who will be the primary beneficiaries of this proposal? 12:00 Will an extra £50 billion entering this niche area create a bubble? 15:15 Why are more companies going private than ever before? 17:30 What does the CEO of the Canadian pension board think of this proposal? 20:15 Would tax breaks be a better option?
