The Institute of Applied Entrepreneurship (IAE) at Coventry
University is embarking on a 24-hour marathon to help students
succeed in business.
'Operation Husky' takes place on Thursday 9 June and it will see
a group of young entrepreneurs at Coventry University get together
for a solid 24-hour business acceleration event.
Tom Williamson from the IAE devised Operation Husky and ran the
first one last year. It proved to be so popular that he decided to
do it again this year.
Tom said:
"Feedback from Operation Husky last year was phenomenal. The
students not only enjoyed the event but found it highly beneficial
to their businesses - setting them up for a summer of
development.
"Over the 24 hours, the young entrepreneurs will have time to
work on part of their business that has been neglected or put on
hold. They will also be able to develop new business ideas,
products, markets and relationships."
As with last year, every three hours a guest speaker will come
to help, inspire and inform the students and share some of their
skills.
The name Operation Husky was chosen for the event because of the
way Husky dogs work.
Tom Williamson added:
"Huskies are strong and work well alone or as part of a pack.
They are an active, energetic, and resilient breed and that is what
you need to succeed in business these days.
"This event will not only help our young entrepreneurs to focus
but also get some new ideas to promote their businesses."
Operation Husky takes place at the Institute for Creative
Enterprises (ICE) on the University Technology Park and starts at
10am on Thursday 9 June and ends at 10am on Friday 10 June.
