Enterprise training for business and industry

The Bristol Enterprise Network (BEN) is the University's facility to assist knowledge transfer among the high-tech, high-growth business community.  The network, which is free to join, brings together regional, national and international organisations from both the commercial and academic arenas.  It provides easy and rapid access to the knowledge, expertise, experience and equipment that is available.  Some of the benefits of membership are the opportunity to network with business people, access to a group of entrepreneurs, interaction with researchers and leading academics, and also sign up to attend a series of training and development opportunities including presentations, lectures, seminars and workshop.

SETsquared helps early-stage, high-tech, high-growth potential ventures get on the road to success.  It provides serviced office space, business guidance and mentoring as well as access to a high-calibre network of experienced entrepreneurs, potential investors and business professionals.  It is a partnership between the universities of Bath, Bristol, Southampton and Surrey and is the largest government-funded, privately-backed support programme of its kind in the UK.  Much of its success comes from the unique way it brings together the research strengths of the universities and private sector commercial expertise.
