Are you a budding Belfast entrepreneur aged 16-21?
Belfast City Council has launched an exciting new programme called 21 Under 21 – Entrepreneurs to Watch in #Belfast with support from sponsors Danske Bankk and Pacem.
This initiative is designed to unearth, recognise, and fast-track 21 exceptional potential young entrepreneurs in the city. It's an exciting opportunity for young entrepreneurs at an idea, or early start phase, to take part in a three-month programme of action-oriented workshops that will act as a springboard for future success. Thanks to our sponsors, one of the 21 participants will be named Belfast’s first ever Young Entrepreneur of the Year and win a £2,000 cash boost.
Applicants must currently be at least 16 years old and no older than 21 by completion of the programme on March 31, 2024. The deadline for applications is 3pm on Wednesday January 10, 2024.
