Bournemouth University to host SMEs, entrepreneurs and future leaders for inaugural Festival of Enterprise
| Published: 15th June 2015 16:35 |
Taking place on Saturday July 18, the free festival welcomes start-up and small/medium enterprise owners (SMEs) to attend a series of short ‘on the sofa' sessions with experienced entrepreneurs and BU academics at ‘The Enterprise Café'.
Key themes such as Creative, Marketing, Finance and Cyber Security will be discussed. This new BU event will be supported by colleagues from the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB).
The event, held in the newly-created Student Centre on BU's Talbot Campus, will feature sessions by experienced entrepreneurs, reflecting on the founding of their respective businesses, and how these have been shaped by the peaks and pitfalls of their successes.
Chaired by an interviewer, the 30 minute Q&A events will then be opened to questions from the floor for 30 minutes. Audiences will be invited to pre-register for these short sessions which run throughout the day, during which there will be networking opportunities with local business development organisations.
Year 12 students will also take part in an ‘Enterprise Den', where five teams will work on a practical, guided activity to create a digital business, with invited team members from both industry and the university helping to build their knowledge and skills for creating new business opportunities. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the day, which will run in Kimmeridge House.
