BizWorld Ireland's Director of Operations, John McEvoy, agrees: "The students participating in the BizWorld programs have a natural capacity for innovation and creative entrepreneurship. The BizWorld programs instill in students the desire to apply their innate inventiveness to the real world, shaping their imminent career choices. The positive impact of the programs on both students and on Ireland's entrepreneurial outlook cannot be emphasized enough."

We are thrilled to welcome BizWorld Ireland to our growing family of international partners!"
