UHI celebrates future talent with business ideas awards
The upcoming talent of the Highlands and Islands was celebrated in fashion at the UHI enterprise competitors awards yesterday (May perhaps 25).
Far more than 60 entries ended up designed by business owners and college students and set forward to judges this calendar year.
Judges whittled the shortlist down to 14 stand-out proposals with eight finalists taking home winners’ plaques and two specific prizes.
Hosted at UHI Inverness campus, it marked a return to in-individual awards next past year’s digital occasion caused by the pandemic.
Suggestions ranged from a new style and design of a dietary supplement shaker, to a “smart” jumper designed to record and tackle domestic abuse.
The entrants ended up all praised by UHI Inverness principal and main government Christopher O’Neil as “fantastic”.
