Kerry entrepreneurs Niall Harty and Ross McDowell are celebrating national recognition after their business, All Real Nutrition, won the Innovation category at the 2026 BMW Ireland Future Entrepreneur Competition.
A Growing Kerry Success Story
Run by BMW Ireland in partnership with Enterprise Ireland, the competition recognises ambitious Irish businesses that are bringing new ideas to market and building strong brands for the future. This year, businesses from across the country competed for the title, with All Real Nutrition emerging as the Innovation winner.
Founded by Niall and Ross, All Real Nutrition has grown into one of Ireland’s most exciting nutrition brands. The company produces protein bars made with real ingredients and strong nutritional value, offering consumers a simple and healthier alternative to many products currently available on the market.
Based in Farranfore, the business was built around a straightforward idea: creating convenient nutrition products using ingredients people recognise and trust. Since launching, All Real Nutrition has developed a loyal customer base and continues to grow its presence both online and in stores across Ireland.
National Recognition
The award was announced at an event hosted by BMW Ireland at Cliff at Lyons in County Kildare, where ten finalists from across Ireland gathered alongside business leaders, competition partners and members of the judging panel.
Speaking at the event, BMW Ireland Managing Director Helen Westby praised the high standard of entries and highlighted the ambition, innovation and vision shown by this year’s finalists.
As part of the prize, All Real Nutrition will receive a range of supports from BMW Ireland, including the use of a fully electric BMW vehicle, mentoring and marketing support to help the company continue its growth journey.
Looking Ahead
For Niall and Ross, the award is a significant milestone and recognition of the work that has gone into building the business from the ground up. It is also another example of the entrepreneurial talent emerging from Kerry, with a local company successfully competing against some of the country’s most promising young businesses.
Congratulations to Niall, Ross and the entire All Real Nutrition team on this fantastic achievement.
