Hide / View Opportunity Details

Building on the opportunities created by the Olympics and Paralympics in London 2012, The Training Gateway and the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education (NCEE), along with UK Trade and Investment and the University of York, are running a national entrepreneur competition for every university in the year running up to the Olympics and Paralympics. The competition will enable every UK University to submit a business plan outlining a brand new business idea inspired by and based around the opportunities created by London 2012. Business plans will be judged on their relevance to the opportunities created by London 2012, the business, its products and services, UK and international marketing strategy, and financial and long term sustainability. An independent panel of judges will select the top four business plans, and the winners will be announced at York Racecourse on June 19th when the Olympic torch relay comes to the city. The four winners will also have the opportunity to showcase their business ideas at a Dragons' Den event at an international business and education event, in front of a large national and international audience of business people and educationalists during London 2012. The short listed finalists will also have the opportunity to participate in a mini exhibition at this networking event. Launched earlier this month, NUE2012 is already generating a lot of interest from universities across the UK. For more information please see www.nue2012.org
