Leading Scottish business minds came together today to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit among Scotland’s students. But as well as recognising the talent in those at university, Scottish Institute for Enterprise also recognised those who have gone forward to set up their own businesses.

The winners of the New Ventures and New Ideas competitions were announced this afternoon. The Edinburgh Reporter spoke to three of the  successful Edinburgh based entrepreneurs, Rosalind Romer of University of Edinburgh, founder of comedy event company Punchline, Mark Hughes of University of Edinburgh who has created pre<optimise, a pre-surgery tool for surgeons and Helen Fisher from Edinburgh College of Art who has developed innovative cleaning products.
