The development of software to help students in primary and secondary school, especially learning maths and science. The software would include an algebra calculator, a science experiment simulator and an exam generator and corrector. An innovative approach would be used to develop the algebra calculator.

The recent investment in the renewable energy sector in Ireland calls for second generation Greentech enterprises to provide services for this growth sector. Ireland Inc has spent the last decade creating a knowledge based workforce focusing on high tech and software sectors. Now is the time to put the mechanisms in place to retain this workforce and facilitate the growth of indigenous companies to compete in national and international markets.

A software suite to help students in primary and secondary school, especially with learning maths and science. The suite would include an algebra solver, a science experiment simulator and an exam generator and corrector.

My proposal is to see how many of our talented entrepraneurs can come out of the woodwork, and rise up to the challenge of bringing Ireland online. If the funding is used to promote online start ups and improve current online business's through training, assistance and funding where successful opportunities arise, with the large number of innovative young determined people out there we may indeed find the next MArk Zuckerberg (founder of Facebook) lurking in the Irish shadows. Ireland lags behind other countries in online business at the moment. How many times have you looked/searched for a shop/product that you know exists in the country but appears not to have an online presence? This does not happen in the UK or America. We need to catch up and indeed overtake using the innovative ideas generated by young and old entrepreneurs that have so far been hindered by the large costs involved in getting private profiteering companies to give them an online presence. I propose the setting More...

We are all talking about iPhones and Apps. My Plan is to develop a major Applications (Apps) industry in Ireland. Apple are enjoying huge growth in their sales associated with their iPhones, iPads, iTunes and now Apps. The scale of the Apple sales are of a scale that if we apply ourselves to Apps, we can enjoy significant foreign sales and rise out of this recession.

"To develop a tool for the automotive industry which will promote product ranges, enable customisation pre & post sale, enhance the customer purchasing experience and drive revenues. It is envisaged that the tool will operate via the web through either a dedicated website or an in-showroom terminal." Ireland has a highly educated and affluent population who are to the fore in cutting edge technology development. These high tech skills are required in order to re-invigorate the auto motor industry by developing the software outlined in this proposal. This proposal has huge potential if the right connection can be made via this competition.

We are all talking about iPhone and Apps. My Plan is to develop a major Applications (Apps) industry in Ireland. Apple are on the crest of an enormous boom, with the sales of their iPhones, iPads, iTunes and now Apps. The scale of this boom is sufficently large that we can generate an Apps industry with significant foreign sales. The knock-on effects are unlimited, and we will be in a much stronger position to attract the next Intel or Dell to our shores.

We will provide very early stage funding to software developers in the internet and mobile application spaces to enable them to turn their ideas into companies with compelling investment potential. We will invest small amounts for limited periods of time. Upon product completion, we will market our funded companies to venture capitalists and larger businesses who can bring them to the next level. Ireland is ideally positioned to target the fast growing internet and mobile application space. This industry is expected to grow to almost $30 Billion worldwide by 2014. By funding a diverse selection of lean startups in this space, we have the opportunity to create companies that generate significant long term economic value for the country. Only a small minority of companies we fund will be successful. But this means that the large majority of our funded companies will have learned valuable lessons in entrepreneurship which will help them succeed in their next venture. This is the f More...

Our plan is to establish Ireland as a global leader in browser based enterprise wide software applications, which are built for the smart economy and will effect positive change across multiple industries. Uniquely, these enterprise wide applications effect positive change by connecting all stakeholders in a business 24/7, enabling them to do things instantly, efficiently and everywhere. We can change the way in which people carry out everyday tasks without changing the rules of control and regulation. A major objective of this plan is to play a significant role in the emerging smart economy with world beating cloud based software as a service that will help secure the future of our current and next generation businesses.
