Stripe is the new sponsor of the Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (YSTE), 20 years after Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison was a winner at the prestigious STEM exhibition. 

Stripe has signed a five-year agreement and assumes the role of title sponsor for YSTE from BT Ireland who, up until this year, was custodian, sponsor and organiser of the exhibition for the past 25 years.
