    The competition is open to any startup less than 3 years in operation with up to 1 million in funding already received . ( as if €25 000. , is going to make that much of a difference to them , compared to a new start up starved of funding and cash to get going …)

    Previous winners have secured millions in funding . Then perhaps this prize should go to individuals or companies trying to get started with a good idea . the money and pr would mean so much more ….

    They secured millions AFTER winning the prize.
    It points out that (a) the competition chooses companies that indeed have lots of potential and (b) winning the prize is good publicity and is a great recommendation for potential investors.
    Try using your brain before criticising
