We work with academics, undergraduates, graduates and alumni to embed enterprise learning in the next generation of business leaders.

Enterprise Champions

We are one of ten universities in the North West of England that have an Enterprise Champion supported by the North West Development Agency (NWDA) and managed by the National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship (NCGE). The Enterprise Champion programme increases the number of new ventures and businesses started by graduates by scaling up the engagement in enterprise and entrepreneurial learning and supporting opportunities across the university campus. We substantially increase engagement in learning and support opportunities that encourage venture creation.

Entrepreneur in Residence

We work with successful and established entrepreneurs to provide role models and develop enterprising individuals. We work closely with the MMU Entrepreneur in Residence, Mark Sims, to inspire and guide students and recent graduates to develop their entrepreneurial skills and capabilities. Mark acts as an entrepreneurial ambassador to share his real global business expertise.

Developing and Delivering CPD Courses

We develop and deliver CPD courses in enterprise learning for our academic colleagues. This increases the engagement of stakeholders in the design and delivery of learning and support opportunities that encourage venture creation.

Business Incubation

We provide an incubator for graduate start up businesses in the centre of Manchester. Innospace is a creative, stimulating and supportive environment for the development of business ideas and the growth of start up businesses.
