Being your own boss and business start-up support
If you are an aspiring entrepreneur or business owner, support is available just for you.
In 2020 we opened our Enterprise Hub building on the de Havilland campus to expand the support we provide for businesses in the region and beyond. This, coupled with our status as a University Enterprise Zone, reinforces an entrepreneurial vision that runs through everything that we do. More information about support for businesses
