The Enterprise Programme - University of Stirling

The University of Stirling’s Enterprise Programme equips students, staff, and recent alumni to develop skills and ideas, pursue entrepreneurship, and drive innovation. Operated by the Enterprise Team, as part of Innovation & Enterprise Services in the Directorate of Research, Innovation & Business Engagement (RIBE), the Programme provides a comprehensive offering of activities, services, incubation, and funding opportunities that support individuals to build entrepreneurial skills, create and grow new business ventures, and commercialise research. Translating learning, teaching, and research outcomes into meaningful impact are priorities for the University, and the Enterprise Team support these processes by delivering a broad range of entrepreneurial training and start-up venture support. Structured across three distinct activity streams, emerging founders can access 1-2-1 business and professional advice, skill-building workshops, inspirational discussion panels, apply to idea and new venture competitions, pre-accelerator schemes, funding opportunities, and more. The Programme also runs a campus-based incubator, The Hive, in which eligible new ventures can develop and grow. Championing the institution’s ethos, the programme aims to empower members of the University community to make a difference through innovation and enterprise activity at home and beyond. Delivery of a range of transformational projects within the University's City Region and Growth Deal programme is embedded within the Directorate of Research, Innovation & Business Engagement (RIBE). The Enterprise Team work closely with colleagues and stakeholders to support enterprise activity within the City Region Deal programmes.
