InvEnterPrize
The InventerPrize student competition offers an opportunity to stimulate new ideas for products or services, from Aberystwyth students, that can be developed into successful businesses.
There is a single prize comprising up to £20,000 worth of support for the winning business, including:
- Business Start-up Support and costs
- Technical mentoring
- Intellectual Property protection ... and much more!
The prize will be awarded to the business idea (product or service), which is judged to have the best combination of sales/turnover/profit potential, innovation, business/commercial awareness of the applicant and commitment of the applicant to setting up a new venture.
The competition is open to Aberystwyth University students (undergraduate and post-graduate) who are registered during the period of September 2012 and May 2013 and who are interested in turning their idea for a product or service into a new business venture. Applications are encouraged from both individuals and from teams.
