Summer Start Up Workshop Programme
The Summer Start Up Workshop Programme was launched in 2016 to complement our dedicated mini- accelerator Summer Company Programme. With an ever increasing number of workshops delivered across a range of topics this is a great way to enhance your skills and develop further knowledge to support you on your start up journey. The full programme delivered for 2021 can found below by month for information.
With 26 workshops delivered virtually in the Summer of 2021, over 100 participants took part across the programme exploring a range of topics from social media to doing business online to funding/financing a business and business ideation. Delivered not just for existing businesses but also those with an idea and desire to begin their start-up journey. Feedback from participants at the end of the programme was fantastic to hear with 100% saying they would recommend the programme to others whilst 96% rated their skills and knowledge development as very good.
"Listening to experiences of other entrepreneurs and exchange the struggles and experiences which happen along the process of building a company. It provides a realistic "real world" example and does not only stick to theoretical approaches." Summer Programme Participant Summer 2021
