Aspiring entrepreneurs put to the test

THE 24-hour Entrepreneur Experience event is looking for aspiring entrepreneurs eager to fast track ideas into real opportunities.

It is the second year of the event, developed by CorkBIC, which hopes to encourage growth and deliver jobs.

Organisers invite people to apply for one of 21 places, from start-up firms to investor-ready companies, to companies that want to scale and grow. These emerging entrepreneurs will then get an opportunity to meet up to 30 of Ireland’s most successful business leaders where they receive coaching and advice.
