Enterprise Inc
Enterprise Inc is a project that aims to improve the enterprise skills of final year University students and recent graduates across the East Midlands.
Currently the new phase of this project (2012 – 2015) is being set up but we are hoping to open recruitment for the first intake in the forthcoming months.
Therefore if you are in your final year at one of our partner universities and are looking at starting a business within the next year Enterprise Inc could be just what you are looking for. If successful you will benefit from a cash bursary of £2500, paid upon the successful completion of key milestones, along with £3000 worth of generic and tailored business support from your university to help your business succeed.

Project Background
Enterprise Inc was launched in November 2008 as a collaborative project with all 9 of the regions Universities with 50% funding from the partner Universities, 40% ERDF and 10% emda Single Programme. Throughout phase one of the project we have helped 519 University students and recent graduates to start a business and have created a total of 222.5 new jobs in the region. The first round of funding for this project is due to expire in April 2012.
We are however pleased to report that we have now received notification that we have successfully secured a second round of funding for a continuation project which will run from 2012 – 2015. A total of seven Universities from the East Midlands will continue to deliver Enterprise Inc in this second phase, with EMIN continuing to act as the Project Manager. With the support of 40% ERDF funding and 60% contribution from the Universities this project offers a fantastic opportunity for the budding entrepreneur.
