University of Leicester: Enterprise and Innovation Lab

The Enterprise and Innovation lab was an immersive week of activities hosted at Leicester Space Centre. Throughout the week the students developed their knowledge of enterprise and innovation through an intensive development programme, built their network, and were inspired by a symposium event.

The programme culminated in an immersive hackathon event where they worked through an innovation funnel competing in interdisciplinary teams on a grand societal challenge.

‘The Gradconsult team really took time to understand the vision and what we wanted to achieve. By doing this they really supported us to develop the Enterprise and Innovation Lab to meet our planned objectives and then so much more through interactive workshops and inspiration raising real work examples. Working to deliver an intervention to curriculum standards to prove the concept really evidenced Gradconsult’s ability to design a high-quality intervention to enhance students’ enterprise and employability skills.’
