Bangor Student Learns the Ropes at M-SParc

Last week, M-SParc were pleased to welcome Jannah Refaie, a 3rd year Banking and Finance Department student, to get a taste of the work that M-SParc and the wider business and innovation sector in the region undertake every day.

Spending time at the company flagship building on Anglesey, and at the M-SParc #OnTour offices in Bangor and Pwllheli, it was not only an opportunity to learn about the Science Park, but also to explore Wales.  Jannah is from Bahrain, and was interested to see some more of the sights while at Bangor.

Throughout the time, Jannah met with a variety of local companies from across Gwynedd, and got involved with different aspects of the work from business support to makerspace machinery!  Jannah shadowed Business Support and Innovation Officer, Siôn Wynne, as he conducted client meetings and gave a real-world overview of finance and Business support available in the region.  There was also the opportunity, while #OnTour, to get a 3D scan of Jannah’s face which was then modelled and 3D printed, picking up a range of useful experience along the way. It was a great opportunity to see how ideas grow into businesses and how finance plays a role in making that happen, all in a friendly, innovative and fast-paced environment.

Siôn said –

I would like to say a big thank you to Jannah for her input, enthusiasm, and the knowledge she brought during her time with us. Her enthusiasm, and willingness to get involved with every aspect of the experience didn’t go unnoticed, and she made a real impression on the team. It was a pleasure to have her with us for the week and a further insight into what M-SParc can offer Bangor Alumni. I’d like to wish her all the best for her future endeavours!

Jannah said –

It’s been an eye-opening experience, offering valuable insight into entrepreneurship and the power of collaboration. My experience was packed with inspiring conversations, fresh ideas, and a real behind-the-scenes look at innovation in action. A huge thank you to the team at M-SParc for being so welcoming and insightful throughout my time and a special thanks to Siôn for generously sharing his time, helping me learn the ropes, showing me around, and supporting me in making valuable connections. Truly appreciated!
