Enterprising students get valuable business experience

The Knowledge Hub hosted the annual Enterprise Summer School from 12 to 15 July. Nineteen students from the University attended business start-up workshops, providing them with practical business experience. The students produced a business plan and created a pitch to deliver to a panel of business experts. GreenSphere delivered the winning pitch with their idea for a bar and lounge that serves healthy and organic drinks and foods which are sourced locally. To find out more click here.
