Celebrating Excellence in the Irish Investor Market
Welcome to the 2026 Irish Investor Awards in association with Forvis Mazars
Now in its third year, the Irish Investor Awards continues to celebrate the achievements of Ireland’s venture capital and private equity community. Returning in May 2026 to the iconic Round Room at the Mansion House, the awards shine a spotlight on the investors shaping Ireland’s SME landscape and driving economic innovation.
Honouring excellence across 15 categories, the awards recognise both emerging talent and established leaders who demonstrate innovation, impact, and dedication in the Irish financial ecosystem.
Being named a finalist is more than a mark of distinction – it’s an opportunity to build connections, raise your profile and be recognised among Ireland’s leading investment professionals.
We are delighted to welcome Forvis Mazars as our headline sponsor once again and we thank all entrants, judges and supporters of the 2026 Irish Investor Awards.
Why participate in the Irish Investor Awards?
Participation in the Irish Investor Awards can be highly rewarding. Whether your primary goal is to clinch an award or simply to gain exposure, engaging in the Irish Investor Awards can prove to be a valuable endeavour in advancing your presence and reputation within the industry.
