In 2009 the Blackrock College Union set up a Dragons’ Den Competition. This competition encourages the students to develop their business acumen and entrepreneurial talents. The competition involves pitching an idea or product in front of the rest of the year. It will be judged by a panel of former Blackrock students who have distinguished themselves in the world of business. The number of people that apply are narrowed down to 11 and then to 5 on the day of the final. A substantial prize fund will be awarded to the winning entrants.
