Ignite 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿: Sparking the Future of Scottish Entrepreneurship

We are thrilled to introduce Ignite 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 – an exciting learning series designed to inspire and empower young people across Scotland. Ignite is designed for S1-S6 and is open to all students, nationwide.

Scotland is full of potential innovators. Our goal is to reinvent the image of an entrepreneur for those who may not believe it’s for them – and show that anyone can do it!

We’ll hear from speakers who started businesses while still in school, and others who came to it later in life. We’ll hear from people turning hobbies into profitable enterprises, and warriors addressing important social issues.

For example, we’ll meet Amee Ritchie, the co-founder of S’wheat Bottle, who started her plant-based water bottle business to help combat plastic waste, and Joe Donald, who created TripTix out of frustration over the hassle of booking tickets to see football teams play abroad.

We’re creating a movement that connects real-life entrepreneurs to young dreamers! ⭐️

Our recorded interviews are here to spark curiosity in young people whilst providing them with tangible role models who have lived and experienced a similar upbringing. 

Do your students have an interest in starting a brand? Are you looking for free resources for your class? Then, Ignite 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can help you engage and inspire your students.

This programme is completely free for Scottish schools, thanks to the support of the Scottish Government Entrepreneurial Education Pathways Fund.

Each episode will explore exciting topics such as technology, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and more, with a focus on unleashing Scotland’s brightest minds and helping them succeed in business. ⭐
