The Enterprise & Innovation Competition The Enterprise & Innovation Competition is part of the Innovation Group Project module that supports students to form interdisciplinary teams and enables them to unleash their potential, develop enterprise and employability skills and to pitch their innovative ideas, prototypes and tech startup plans to a panel of industry experts. The competition is a community involvement event sponsored by inspiring industry partners keen to support new innovative initiatives, employ new graduates, provide work experience opportunities, work on collaborative final year projects and contribute to the enhancement and growth of our students and our community.
TECHHUB SWANSEA “This is a really important piece of work in the tech market today. Being able to pitch and raise money is up there with one of the most important skills for entrepreneurs. It is not natural to stand up in front of an audience. This is an excellent experience to see how you will react in this situation. If you are feeling nervous that is good! You need to have that edge to give you the excitement and energy you need to get your idea and pitch across. And, if any of you are thinking seriously about starting a tech business, you have techhub and the companies in this building. We generate loads of tech jobs, there are definitely opportunities off the back of this, so use it wisely.� PAUL HARWOOD, TECHHUB

“The Enterprise & Innovation Competition is a great event giving students the opportunity to develop and practice their entrepreneurial skills within their course subject. All of the teams presented innovative business opportunities as well as some really viable products that could be taken forward into real businesses. I hope the event has opened up the students eyes to the possibility starting their own business one day as well as highlighting how they could use the skills to identify opportunities for future employers.�

TEAM VERSION ZERO "Doggogo is a phone application and device pair that will allow dog owners to better care for their dog. The device is a small cuboid that clips onto the collar of the dog. The phone application gives tailored recommendations based on the breed of the dog, for example; giving walk distance recommendations which would be higher for a husky as opposed to a Chihuahua. The device is GPS enabled and relays the live location of the dog to the application, this can be used to alert the owner if the dog escapes the property. The phone application can also store reminders for the dog including deworm/flea reminders and vet appointments. The application will store the health progress of the dog and will have a review section which will be useful for vet appointments."
