The Start-Up 101 programme offers students and graduates the tools to generate viable business ideas, turn initial concepts into commercial opportunities, develop entrepreneurial skills and mindset, and expand their networks.

Additionally, more advanced founders will gain access to four specialist keynote sessions to best prepare them for their next steps.
