加圆, Lecturer in Enterprise at Salford Business School, who works with Young Enterprise at the University alongside module leader, 乔纳森·欧文斯博士, commented: “To have The Princess Royal and several other high-profile guests, 包括索尔福德市的市长, join us for this important event is amazing and real credit to our fantastic students who are already making waves in the world of business.
“Our students won the top prize at the European final in Tallinn, Estonia last year and we have no doubt this year’s team, 搞清楚, have a great chance of following in their footsteps. Our ethos here at Salford Business School really does embody empowering the ethical entrepreneurs of tomorrow and the success we’ve experienced with Young Enterprise really showcases that.”
The foundation for 搞清楚 is driven by an incredibly important cause which is close to the team’s heart. The inspiration for the business comes from 22-year-old, 蕾妮, who is Thalia’s boyfriend’s sister and has Angelman Syndrome, a genetic condition affecting the nervous system which causes severe physical and learning disabilities. The business’ mission is to empower adults with disabilities, while removing any stigma by creating positive awareness of conditions of this nature.
莎朗·戴维斯, 青年企业CEO, added: “The Start-Up Programme is a fantastic way for university students of all backgrounds to apply their learning in a truly practical way through running their own business. We are incredibly grateful to the University of Salford Business School for hosting the UK final during our charity’s 60th anniversary year and for providing a platform for these amazing young people to showcase the talent, skills and mindsets they have developed throughout the programme. Congratulations to all this year's Start-Up teams and best wishes to the finalists.”
