Ann Marie Phelan, Enterprise and Innovation Manager at the Media Cube said, “We were delighted with the numbers participating in this year’s Bootcamp. We had a wide variety of student and recent graduates from different disciplines, who shared a common interest – they wanted to make their business ideas viable.

It has been a privilege to witness the growth shown by the participants – several students, while pitching showed how their s ideas had changed and how they were able to apply the principles of the Bootcamp to their businesses.

We are actively encouraging the participants to enter the Student Entrepreneur Awards that are being hosted by Enterprise Ireland and the upcoming IBYE awards as we feel the Bootcamp has ignited some great ideas! I would also like to thank Susan Cahill from Enterprise Ireland, Mariea Mullally from LEO DLR, Conor O’Connor from Enterprise Equity and Lisa Cunningham from Vogue Business Development for their terrific contribution to the judging process.”
