Isle Start Up aims to provide a platform for people to get business ideas off the ground.

It is also designed to stimulate economic growth on the Island during difficult times.

The event, which will run on November 16 and 17, aims to bring together people of different backgrounds to produce a viable business plan or product by the end of the weekend.
