  • 2. Dragon's Den comes to Trinity

    The Trinity Entrepreneurial Society presents the final of the Inaugural Ulster Bank Enterprise Competition in a Dragon's Den style final on Thursday the 19th of February @ 7pm in the Ed Burke theatre with reception in the Atrium to follow.

    27 teams submitted 3-page business plans in the first round with their best ideas for a new product or service. The entries are currently under review and being narrowed down by our panel of 6 judges.

    The final is the biggest event of the year for TES and will be a showcase of Trinity's best entrepreneurial talent competing for a prize fund of €3,000 and a very entertaining evening.

    We encourage as many students as possible to attend the event as we are trying to fill the capacity of 400 for this event and provide as much support for the students as possible.
