£13k boost for Yorkshire entrepreneurs up for grabs

Yorkshire entrepreneurs could be on the receiving end of a £13k boost at business showcase event Venturefest Yorkshire.

The Innovation Showcase will see inventors and entrepreneurs from the science and technology sectors demonstrate their ideas to over a thousand delegates attending Venturefest Yorkshire on 12 March.

The showcase is organised by Science City York and supported by The University of York, with the most innovative product receiving a prize package worth around £13k.

Previous showcase entrants include Leeds-based testing solutions and consulting firm The Test People, York 3D Printers and last year’s winners S3 ID, a safety solutions company from Rotherham.

Chris Wilson, project manager for Venturefest Yorkshire, said: “Venturefest Yorkshire is a unique event that supports science, technology and IP generating businesses and entrepreneurs of all ages. The great thing about the event is that you don’t know what you’ll discover until you get here.

“We’ve already received some really exciting applications for this year’s Innovation Showcase and we can’t wait to unveil them and see who this year’s winner will be.”

Venturefest Yorkshire 2015 takes place at York Racecourse on 12 March.

The application deadline for the Innovation Showcase 2015 is 31 January. To apply, go to http://www.venturefestyorkshire.net/competitions/
