Student Team XpressLF from Queens University Belfast scoops Intel Award at Enterprise's Ireland Think Outside the Box Awards 2014
A team of students from Queen’s University Belfast has won the Intel prize of an all-expenses paid trip to the Intel Challenge Europe Award 2014. The students won the prize at this year’s Enterprise Ireland Think Outside the Box Awards, with their project XpressLF. This year celebrates the 31st year of the prestigious awards, which are co-sponsored by Invest Northern Ireland, Cruickshank Intellectual Property Attorneys, Intel and Grant Thornton.
The team’s winning project XpressLF is based on a new, innovative and cost effective tool for the automotive service industry. The product itself is a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) activation tool. XpressLF are responding to European legislative changes that will ensure that all cars will soon have to be installed with a tyre pressure monitoring system.
