Do you have a business idea to explore or want to increase your entrepreneurial thinking?
Bring Your Ideas to Life with the Generate Programme
Generate is a programme run by the Business Institute with the aims of increasing entrepreneurial thinking and having Ulster University students consider starting their own business, with some even creating business plans for new products or services. The programme is for all Ulster University students, part time and full time from all subject areas.
The programme is a combination of workshops and mentoring. There will be Ideas Generation workshops and Business Planning workshops held at all four campuses.
