The nine shortlisted entries in the University’s New Enterprise Competition 2007 include safe-sex underwear, a high-efficiency solar panel and a device for diagnosing diarrhoea.

Underwear with secret pockets to promote safe sex; a fold-up screen for mobile phones; a new, cheaper and more efficient solar panel; and a device for diagnosing diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal diseases... and that isn’t even half of the total number of shortlisted entries in the University’s New Enterprise Competition 2007. The Competition has a substantial prize fund in the region of £35,000 including cash, free professional advice and managed office space to help make businesses a commercial success.

The Competition’s sponsoring organisations include Bristol City Council, Business West, Osborne Clarke, Deloitte, Fortis Bank, IP Group, STMicroelectronics, SPark, BOC Edwards and United Bristol Healthcare Trust.

The winners of the 2007 New Enterprise Competition will be announced at the University's Enterprise Gala Dinner on 3 July in the Wills Memorial Building.
