'Generation Innovation' Goes Live

One hundred of Northern Ireland’s most innovative and entrepreneurial students have become the first members of the ‘Generation Innovation’ network to encourage them to make opportunities for themselves without emigrating.

The initiative, launched by NISP CONNECT with representatives of the local business community, hopes to stop the brain drain from Northern Ireland by building a physical and online network of Northern Ireland’s brightest students before, during and after their third-level studies. These young people represent the future of the critically important Knowledge Economy that you may have seen me write about in previous posts.

Membership benefits include invites to annual high-profile networking events and access to an online network letting members exchange ideas, post news on their development and seek internships and business relationships.

For more details on the initiative visit http://www.generationinnovation.co.uk/ or view the video below which perfectly captures the opportunity and lays down the challenge.
