Workshop on how to apply for the Enterprise Inc Programme - University of Derby

Wednesday 24 October,

9am-12noon


Do you have an idea for a great business?

Are you a final year student or have graduated within the last 3 years?

Would a package of business support PLUS a cash bursary from the University of Derby help?

If you have answered yes to all of the above you may be eligible for Enterprise Inc support.

Enterprise Inc comprises of workshops, seminars, events, mentoring and business advice delivered by experienced professionals to give you the skills you need to start and run a business. There is also a cash bursary of £2500 available to help towards any start-up costs.

NB: Places on the Enterprise Inc Programme are limited and so not every applicant will be successful

If you have a business idea you would like to explore, and apply for Enterprise Inc support, come along on the 24 October, 9am-12noon to the 'Enterprise Inc - Got a Business Idea?' workshop in N704 Kedleston Road Campus.

Led by previous Enterprise Inc beneficiaries Dan Lamoon and Jonny Prest who now run a successful company, Seed Creativity, this workshop will give you an insight into running your own business, what's involved, and guidance on applying for the Enterprise Inc programme.
