Jack O’Connor, a 6th Year student in Desmond College, took part in the BT Young Scientist Business Bootcamp last week Held in NovaUCD – University College Dublin (UCD).
The BT Young Scientist Business Bootcamp brings together some of Ireland’s brightest young entrepreneurs to show them how to set up and run a start-up. This includes how to write a business plan, create a marketing campaign, draft a budget and present their ideas competently to senior academics and business people.
After four days of workshops, all students took part in a pitch competition to show off their business ideas and products in front of a panel of judges. Jack O’Connor from Desmond College in Limerick was recognised as the best individual student. He was awarded the prize for showing an in-depth understanding of the process of bringing an on-paper idea all the way through to project commercialisation.
