What is the Generation Innovation Programme?
Tommy O\’Gorman and Jim Finnegan (CEO of Workflow Management Software Company FIELDMOTION Ltd) have spearheaded a programme in conjunction with Northern Ireland\’s Science Park, fittingly titled the “Generation Innovation Programme“. This programme will give young entrepreneurs the unique chance to progress their own start-up business throughout July and August.
Joining Tommy on the programme is Jim Finnegan, a long time friend of Tommy, Newry native and a successful entrepreneur. Earning his fortune in Mobile Communications and now Workflow Management Software, the Generation Innovation Programme was something of great interest to him.
Of the 40 entries, 6 have been short-listed and awarded a bursary of £2,000 with mentoring to further their attempt at getting their start-up off the ground. By September, the successful candidates will be given the chance to pitch against each other for a £10,000 prize to develop their business further. On top of this prize, the overall winner will receive a full year of mentoring.
