support Schools Enterprise Challenge
16 May 2008
Trotman is excited to be involved with Startups Awards 2008, an annual awards ceremony to find the most promising and innovative young companies of the future. This year Startups have added a brand new category to find the most promising school students with the best business idea, and Trotman are proud to be providing prizes for all the finalists in this category.
The Schools Enterprise Challenge category will see one group of 14-16 year old students awarded £1,000 to start their own business. Four finalists will pitch their big business idea to serial entrepreneur and investor David Lester who'll use his business acumen to pick the winner. All finalists will win a high value book prize for their schools courtesy of Trotman Publishing.
