Generation Innovation Programme Manager, Claire Burgoyne explains: 'This event is not designed for young people to be passive listeners to entrepreneurs who share their stories/visions with the audience. They want these young people to proactively take part in becoming the entrepreneurs of the future. It is also an opportunity for them to have one-on-one conversations with some of our most successful local “tech” talent in N. Ireland and beyond. It is interactive, dynamic, inspirational and most importantly hands on.
Kevin Meehan, Lecturer in Computing at NRC said “This event is a fantastic opportunity for our young people to engage with local industry and learn from entrepreneurs’ experiences. It is an event that has a lasting legacy with each student as they can join the alumni of ‘Generation Innovation’ and in turn this provides opportunities to participate in future projects’. The event, which is run by the Northern Ireland Science Park is now an annual event which is growing rapidly and providing brilliant opportunities for students all across Northern Ireland.
