Down to business as Kerry boot camp puts 600 students to the test

A BUSINESS Boot Camp will see 600 students from Kerry and Limerick put their ideas to the test in front of a panel of leading Irish entrepreneurs and business people, as part of the annual Young Entrepreneur Programme and Awards.

Satellite navigation hiking boots, a medical receipts card which eliminates paper receipts and a milk carton crusher for waste disposal are among the emerging ideas students will be pitching at this year’s event, which takes place on January 29 at the Brandon Conference Centre in Tralee.

The camp gives students an invaluable opportunity to learn from, and be challenged by, mentors who will advise on where business opportunities exist, how to win in business and what makes a good business plan.
