It’s the chance of a lifetime and the perfect opportunity to take your business to the next level with dedicated support from Aldi experts. Successful applicants will join the ranks of past Grow with Aldi success stories such as Velo Coffee, FemFuelz, Cookie Dó, and Walls Honest Chips. Applications are now officially open for 2025 and will remain open until January 31.

Applications can be submitted online, and it’s easier and more convenient than ever to apply.

Now in its eighth year, Grow with Aldi continues to drive growth and opportunity for Irish SMEs, in partnership with Bord Bia. All entries are carefully evaluated by an expert panel of Aldi buyers.

Finalist products will debut in 163 Aldi stores nationwide later this year, with winners announced in winter 2025. Winners benefit from invaluable mentorship, gaining insights into supply chain management, marketing strategies, and the buying process, with the potential to secure additional contracts with Aldi Ireland reaching new heights for your business.

Fiona Twomey, Global Retail Specialist at Bord Bia, joined Aldi representatives to launch the programme for 2025: “We’ve worked with Aldi on this programme since its inception and are delighted to be a part of an initiative that champions ambitious and innovative Irish producers.

The programme offers excellent visibility and support to producers, giving them the opportunity to secure a national listing with Aldi. In addition, the mentorship and retail expertise Aldi offers is invaluable, helping producers to scale their businesses. We can’t wait to see this year’s applicants.”
