Mac McCaffrey & Mike Leahy founders of Uni-Bus |
The UNI-BUS initiative is led by Tim McCaffrey of Swansea University's Department of Research and Innovation and Mike Leahy, a Swansea based business consultant.
UNI-BUS will hold a workshop for local businesses this month on Thursday 21 May in the ILS Seminar room at Swansea University's Singleton Park campus. Businesses, entrepreneurs, consultants and innovators are welcome to attend. Tim McCaffrey said: "The UNI-BUS tagline is 'What's your problem?' the intention being for businesses to bring their problems to the University, whatever they may be, to see if a solution can be found within our vast academic collective." Alan Gray, from the Welsh Assembly Government Department for the Economy and Transport, and Ali Parker, from the Department of Research and Innovation at Swansea University, will speak at the event about the funding opportunities for businesses and organisations they are involved with, and how other businesses in the region can get involved. Other University experts will also be on hand to offer advice and assistance.
Swansea University students from Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) will also be presenting on the night, demonstrating some of the projects that they have worked on. And businesses and organisations will also get the chance to meet some of the University's best students. Attendees will also have an opportunity to try out a state-of-the-art Formula One race car simulator provided by magine F1.
The UNI-BUS workshop, which will include a free Indian buffet by Zaal, will be held between 6.30 - 9pm on 21 May in the ILS Seminar room at the Swansea University's Singleton Park campus.
