UNIVERSITY of Bolton students have a chance to take their lucrative ideas to fruition.

Lightbulb Investments are working with the university to engage with students and staff to provide ideas with potential with the support needed to launch them.

Lightbulb’s package will include wages and dedicated business mentors — a business "devil", with considerable experience in the same sector as the idea—to develop the concept into a full blown business plan that can then be taken to the private equity market for full start-up funding.
