About us

The Entrepreneurship Centre supports Saïd Business School’s community and University of Oxford students to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions.

We play a significant role in supporting student futures, working with departments in the School to underpin their curricular, co-curricular, personal and entrepreneurial goals.

How do we do this? Through experiential learning, access to local and global networks, and thought leadership. Our programming is designed to support and enhance the journey of students throughout their time at Saïd Business School.

If you are interested in all things innovative come and talk to us at The Nest, Park End Street, Saïd Business School.

Programmes

""

Our programmes offer experiential learning opportunities for students with a focus on entrepreneurship and innovation.

We provide courses on idea and venture creation to support the Entrepreneurship Project, a core element of the MBA programme. For students interested in making an impact in existing organisations we provide broader workshops and skill development. Additionally, we bring in academics and researchers from across the Collegiate University to discuss their careers as well as innovation prospects in higher education.

We also offer programmes and collaboration opportunities for alumni and non-Saïd Business School students.

E-School, our new online library of entrepreneurial video content, has successfully launched and is available to anyone with an SSO login.

The oNetwork

""

We strive to be a transformative partner to our students and alumni by promoting entrepreneurial values and thinking.

We invest not only our time and expertise, but also our connections to accelerate the entrepreneurial initiatives arising in the Oxford ecosystem. The members of the oNetwork are a curated group of highly experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders and reflect the high-quality of our community. By engaging them in our programmes and initiatives, we deliver on our promise to support all our students and alumni in pursuing their entrepreneurial ambitions.

Our network

Events

We aim to inspire, educate and build networks through our world-class events.

We host varied activities, talks, workshops and fireside chats. These are often led by distinguished speakers and experienced leaders from our oNetwork, as well as facilitators from the wider global entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Our events are primarily aimed at Saïd Business School students, however some are open to the wider University of Oxford community, entrepreneurs and general public.

We also run Saïd Business School's flagship entrepreneurial event, Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum. The forum brings together masters of entrepreneurship to share their experiences for an inspirational day of keynote speeches and panel discussions. 

Thought leadership

""

We bring together thought leaders from academia, industry and government to critically discuss current issues in entrepreneurship, as well as to generate new ideas and devise new solutions. This discourse is driven by the academic research of the School and addresses a wide range of issues.
