The University of Salford is hosting a series of innovative events to mark Enterprise Week 2007 (12 - 18 November), a national week of activities and events aimed at inspiring young people to have ideas and make them happen.
From problem solving workshops to business plan sessions, the University's activities are all designed to inspire students, staff and local businesses to be enterprising - and turn ideas into something real.
Organised by the University's Enterprise and Development division, the schedule of events includes workshops to help people generate creative ideas and a conference to get entrepreneurs started on business plans.
During the week the University will announce the winning business plan from its Enterprise Academy Boot Camp competition. Held in the summer, the Boot Camp gave intensive coaching and support to budding entrepreneurs. The winner will receive a £5,000 package of business support to take their new venture forward.
The University's Learning, Enterprise and Development Manager, Claire MacLean said: "We are delighted to be taking part in this year's National Enterprise Week. Our year-round enterprising events are designed to encourage our staff, students and local people to think like entrepreneurs and help transform ideas into reality."
