Representatives from the Hunter Centre attended the Entrepreneurial Spark® Entrepreneuring® Awards on January 9.
The event, at the Thistle Hotel, Glasgow, celebrated the third birthday of Entrepreneurial Spark® and brought together entrepreneurs from around the globe to highlight entrepreneurial talent. It showcased live pitching in front of a panel of esteemed judges with over £65k given away to deserving start-ups through a number of different award categories.
Professor Eleanor Shaw, Head of the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship said, 'We were delighted to welcome colleagues from Business Gateway, Santander, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and Co-operative Development Scotland as well as two of our Business Fellows, Brian Martin and Susan Aktemel to join us at this fantastic event. Today, it’s more important than ever to nurture the next generation of entrepreneurs so it was a great opportunity to see the support available to them and gain a sneak peek at some of their exciting ideas'.
