This year's ceremony takes place at the Mansion House, Dublin, on October 23, where finalists from across Ireland will gather.

Waterford's Copper Coast Renewables' recognition comes at a time when renewable energy and sustainability-focused enterprises are increasingly seen as vital to shaping the future of finance and investment in Ireland.

Organisers said this year's awards attracted a record number of submissions, reflecting the "depth of talent and innovation driving Ireland's financial services sector."

The shortlisting means Copper Coast Renewables will share the spotlight with some of the country's biggest names in banking, fintech, and investment.
