Centre for Entrepreneurship

Creating opportunities for University students, staff, and recent graduates to develop their enterprise skills and supporting new business ventures with funding and mentoring.

On this page

Entrepreneurship is about creating impact through innovation, leveraging opportunities, and fostering economic success. As a Centre we provide support for University students, staff, and recent graduates to develop transferable entrepreneurial skills and build their self-reliance and employability through meaningful business activity.

We partner with Elevator, Scotland’s leading private sector organisation that supports entrepreneurs, inventors, disruptors, and business leaders of the future. This allows us to develop and support Dundee's entrepreneurial and enterprising culture by providing the necessary tools to kick start business journeys. This, in turn, positively impacts on our city's economy and employment, creating a richer future for individuals and organisations.

Our work sees us collaborate with local business experts, who provide training, mentoring, inspirational talks, and competitions with associated prize funding.

If you are interested in taking the next step in your entrepreneurial journey, you can participate in our events or reach out to us to discuss your ideas.
