Young Scientists Exhibition

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Alan Kelly

Young Scientist 3

I visited the 2012 Young Scientist Exhibition last week and came across many interesting projects which demonstrate that there are Tipperary teenagers out there putting their brains to work in the food and science sectors. I met with schools from Borrisokane, Thurles and Roscrea during the day. It is only when you see that many enthusiastic kids under one roof you think, yes, there are brilliant students out there and they can ensure the future of innovative indigenous business. There was an incredibly high standard of local entries, which illustrates that North Tipperary students are among the best in the country.

At the Invest North Tipp Launch - A 1 Million Euro Investment Programme For High Potential Businesses in North Tipp

The partnership, Invest North Tipp, has now been officially launched. The programme ring fences €1 Million for high potential start-up businesses in North Tipperary.

 

A simple way of describing it is that it is almost like a Dragons Den for North Tipperary – although it is confined to the areas that are likely to yield employment in the future, ICT, pharma, medical devices and clean tech. The pool of finance available is €1million and two investment companies have come on board, Ronoc & Tolisons.

 

Both of these are leading Irish Investment companies with a track record and reputation for delivering results. The programme would work by companies going through a strict investment application and if successful the investors would take an equity share in the company.

MEP Alan Kelly with Dell Workers at Oireachtas

The report submitted by the select group of MEP's who visited Limerick to examine the handling of the Dell EGF funds have confirmed all the issues I have highlighting.

I am delighted to announce the creation of new jobs for Nenagh after HKPB Scientific revealed plans to open a facility in the town.

 

HKPB decided to bring the new facility to Nenagh after I personally intervened to draw their attention to the facilities on offer in the town.

 

I am delighted to have attracted a company of this quality to Nenagh. They are creating the type of jobs we need, high-value, export led jobs that will boost the entire regional economy.

 

These jobs will bring money into the community and will have a very positive effect for all businesses in the town and the local area. It’s a massive boost for Nenagh and it comes at a time when good news is in short supply.

With the economy in the state it is thanks to failed Government policies and their mishandling of the public finances allayed with a world economic downturn, I believe it is time that we went back to basics from a business perspective. We need to adopt first principles again and become competitive. Thts why we need to trust our own instincts, trust our own people and their new ideas for enterprises, develop our education system and provide the infrastructure to allow our economy to be competitive.
