Dublin City University Enterprise Week to produce winners
09.03.2010
As part of Dublin City University’s (DCU) Enterprise Week last week one student is going to walk away with a trading internship and a group was awarded for its website idea as part of an interactive competition.
Positive Equity is deciding on the winner of the €600 and trading internship prize in the coming days. Candidates took part in a series of events such as interviews, video games, card games and athletic games.
Formed in 2008, Positive Equity is a dedicated group of market, risk and IT professionals, trading financial futures strategies on many of the world’s electronic derivatives exchanges.
DCU’s Entrepreneurial and Social Society ran the Enterprise Week, which included a ‘Bright Ideas’ competition last Wednesday where two groups and two individuals competed for a €300 prize and workshop with Forward Emphasis, a Donegal-based customer relationship management and business process outsourcing company.
Innovative website from Connect 4
A group of girls from Monaghan, calling themselves ‘Connect 4’ won the prize for their website which allows students to source their Erasmus requirements cheaply and easily.
High profile speakers during the week included ex-footballer Niall Quinn, Magnet Networks CEO Mark Kellett, Aer Arann founder Padraig O’Ceidigh and Daragh Sheridan, who set up 2XL, a sports-management and training company, with Neil Coleman while he was still a student at DCU. He is now working on a second venture.
