  In a recent paper we proposed a new model of inflation based on the
soft-breaking of N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. The advantage of
such a model is the fact that we can write an exact expression for the
effective scalar potential, including perturbative and non-perturbative
effects. We find that the scalar condensate that plays the role of the inflaton
can drive a long period of cosmological expansion in the weak coupling Higgs
region, and end inflation in the strong coupling monopole region, where
reheating takes place. The model predicts the right amount of temperature
anisotropies in the microwave background, a precise spectral tilt, $n=0.91$,
and negligible gravitational wave perturbations.
