  • This approach works well.. A similar program in Bangor Ireland has already spawned a fast growth online Gaming Services company and we have another two business about to launch.. the catalyst is an enthusiastic Staff Member at the Community or Technical Collge and access to an advanced technology business 'mentor' used to high tech startups in the micro sector.. the latter is partly my job but is funded by local government
