Tom Kilroy from Keyloop Dealer Tech

Hi! My name is Tom Kilroy and I'm the CEO of a company called Keyloop that creates technology for the automotive industry, so to put that in more day-to-day language, we create technology to make the experience of buying a car and owning a car better. So this is our second year of our annual dealer tech competition and this year is going to be even bigger and better than last year.

So what is dealer tech? Well we're looking for the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs whose ideas can help transform our industry. So when you enter the Dealer Tech competition you can expect a lot of support from us, so we'll have information we'll have masterclasses and then we will actually have a mentoring programme to help as you develop your idea about how to make the experience of buying and owning a car better, and in addition there is prize money so the winning team from each university win a thousand pounds and the overall prize is £10,000. So Dealer Tech is open to undergraduates and masters students and participating universities and if you think this sounds interesting and you would like to enter, please go to our website and find out more. We're really excited to launch this years competition and we really hope you will take part.

I am personally really excited about seeing this years ideas and meeting the contestants so looking forward to meeting you in person.
