An Irish programme to nurture young innovators has been shortlisted in the EU’s European Enterprise awards 2010, writes Olivia Kelleher

The programme fought off stiff competition from more than 380 projects from 28 European countries to become one of just 12 shortlisted nominees for this year’s award. The Irish nominee is called the “Genesis Enterprise Programme”.

This is a 12-month rapid incubation programme to provide support and management skills for entrepreneurs leading knowledge-based start-ups in Cork and Kerry.
