Discussion on King's Entrepreneurship Initiatives

Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our alumni, we have been able to establish a number of ambitious initiatives to help students gain entrepreneurial skills and explore careers in innovation and business, underpinned by King's radical and innovative reputation and keeping our social, ethical, and environmental responsibility at the heart of everything we do.

In this talk we we will discuss College’s entrepreneurship initiatives, covering objectives, progress and emerging outcomes including :

• The King’s E-Lab, offering a year-long foundation programme for King’s students, including an intensive residential week before the start of the academic year;

• Our Entrepreneur-in-Residence, providing advice and mentoring for students, and coordinating a monthly webinar series with distinguished speakers;

• The Entrepreneurship Senior Advisory Board, chaired by Malcolm McKenzie (KC 1977) and including noted business leaders, to help guide our activities, aspiring entrepreneurs and connect them with helpful resources;

• The King’s Entrepreneurship Prize, established by Stuart Lyons CBE (KC 1962) to encourage King’s Members of all ages to develop entrepreneurial ideas and concepts into businesses with sustainable commercial and social benefits, with a first prize of £20,000.

We will leave plenty of time for Q&A and open discussion, and are keen to gain advice and input for our developing programme.
