The EnterpriseTECH programme

About the EnterpriseTECH Experience

The EnterpriseTECH experience encompasses the foundation level EnterpriseTECH offering a dynamic blend of education and practical experience tailored for the entrepreneurially-minded STEM researcher or professional.

On this 10-week programme, you’ll learn core aspects of entrepreneurship, innovation-driven problem-solving, strategic market navigation and value creation, while exploring your entrepreneurial potential in a team that has a project provided.

By joining EnterpriseTECH, you become part of an innovative community where learning translates into real-world applications for early-stage technologies and ventures. Whether you come to us as a student, an inventor with a technology to share in the form of a project proposal, or a professional keen on guiding the next generation of entrepreneurs as a supervisor, our programmes offer a unique platform to learn, engage, contribute, and grow.

EnterpriseTECH is ideal for people new to business school learning, who have other weekday commitments to attend to. You may be looking for an easy-to-access educational offering or primer without committing to a full Masters degree or MBA in business or entrepreneurship studies.

Personal ambitions in entrepreneurship

Our surveys reveal that over 95% of our students are drawn to EnterpriseTECH and entrepreneurship not primarily for financial gain but by a strong desire for autonomy and making a meaningful impact.

They aim to address critical global challenges, enhance sustainability, combat the climate crisis, improve health, and better the quality of life for all. Many researchers are motivated by these same goals when they first enter the field.

The programmes offer crucial first steps towards realising these ambitions, providing essential knowledge and networking opportunities to help you turn future business ideas or research into tangible solutions.
