Young Enterprise stars of the future gather for 'The Big Celebration 18'
Regional winners will be announced to go forward to the NI finals in June.
The next generation of entrepreneurs are set to sharpen their skills at Titanic Belfast this Friday, March 23rd.
More than 500 budding leaders from Northern Ireland who set up businesses with Young Enterprise this year will mark their achievements at The Big Celebration ’18.
Throughout the morning the young people will participate in hands-on workshops focused on sharpening the skills they have developed through the Young Enterprise Company and Team programmes, in order to best prepare them for the world of work and business start-up.
Young Enterprise organises the annual event as a way of congratulating the students who have taken part in the Company and Team Programmes.
The Big Celebration regional winners of the competition will be announced on the day and those winners will go forward to the prestigious Northern Ireland Final in June at Belfast City Hall.
Young Enterprise Chief Executive Carol Fitzsimons MBE said: “We set these young people a challenge back in September to start up a business, and since then we’ve seen some extraordinary ideas and innovative companies.
"At The Big Celebration 18 we will reveal the top businesses and individuals who have particularly excelled throughout their time working with us.
"These young people exemplify the entrepreneurial potential that we have here and show why Northern Ireland was named a European Entrepreneurial Region for 2016/17.
