On November 20th, the HTS Labs team had the honour of competing in the DHL SME Competition Final at the iconic Thomond Park. This prestigious event brought together some of the most innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in Ireland, showcasing their groundbreaking ideas and business strategies.
As one of the Top 5 finalists selected from across the country, we were thrilled to represent HTS Labs on such a renowned stage. The competition highlighted the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit driving Irish SMEs, and we were proud to share our vision for the future of diagnostics.
The Journey to the Finals
Reaching the final stage of this competition was an incredible milestone for HTS Labs. From our initial entry video to preparing a detailed pitch for the finals, the journey allowed us to reflect on our mission, achievements, and aspirations for international growth. Working closely with DHL, we have already seen the transformative impact of streamlined logistics and sustainable practices, and this competition reaffirmed our commitment to pushing boundaries.
Celebrating Innovation and Collaboration
While we didn’t take home the grand prize, we were inspired by the creativity and passion of the other finalists: Doug’s World, Velo Coffee Roasters, JRC Components, and Swag Hut. A special congratulations to Velo Coffee Roasters for their well-deserved win. It was an honor to share the stage with such forward-thinking businesses.
The event itself was a true celebration of innovation, expertly organised by the DHL team and hosted at the legendary Thomond Park, a venue synonymous with excellence and teamwork. We extend our heartfelt thanks to DHL for creating a platform that champions Irish SMEs and to Munster Rugby for their warm hospitality.
