PRESS RELEASE The winners of the Napkin Competition are found
The four winners were found among the 20 nominees and they all won a ticket to Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks. The price was presented to the winners by Claus V. Hemmingsen, Denmark-Hong Kong Trade Association. The winning ideas were a new service for mobile telephone subscription, sponsored businesscards for students, interactive billboards, and a new reality game. ”The students have been very creative and innovative. The ideas all have great business potential” says Christian Vintergaard, Managing Director for Øresund Entrepreneurship Academy. ”The visit to Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks will hopefully help our winners to develop their ideas further, so that we in the future can use their products and services.” The business idea competition has also this year been a great success. The Academy recieved 216 ideas on napkins – some on physical napkins, some electronic through www.oeacademy.org – and all of them were very exciting. ”I am proud and happy for being nominated. It was a creative and fun competition and a challenge to have to explain your idea in only a few lines”, says Oluf Swensson, one of the 20 nominees. The winners Jacob Lönroth, Louice Rosdahl, Katrine Naustdal and Michael Friis will be going to Hong Kong in February together with a representative from the student incubator VentureLab from Lund University. They were the ones who inspired the most students to participate in the competition. As last year, the young entrepreneurs will be introduced to the entrepreneurial and innovative environment in Hong Kong. They will also get the opportunity to build a network and establish contacts that can be useful in the future.
