PITCH '23
What is Pitch '23?
Brown Thomas Arnotts is committed to playing a pivotal role in supporting our community and championing local talent.
Following the success of Pitch ’22 last year, we are proud to announce the return of the campaign for its third year in 2023. Once again, we invite Irish start-ups and entrepreneurs to pitch for a chance to be mentored by a team of experts in the world of retail and secure placement as part of the 2023 Arnotts Christmas Market and thereafter. Our ultimate Pitch ’23 winner will also secure a €10,000 business development fund.
Pitch ’23 is open to a range of businesses and entrepreneurs, whether you’ve been in business 10 years and are looking to take the next step or are a newly established company, just starting out on your journey.
