200 final year business students will take to the stage to compete for a series of prizes to highlight the best student business plans at UWE Bristol’s Enterprise Fair, from 10-12 noon this Saturday 14 May 2016 at the UWE Bristol Exhibition and Conference Centre (ECC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The students will make a 30 second elevator pitch and take part in an assessed poster presentation to mark the final element of the Enterprise project, a final year dissertation module organised around the creation and development of a business plan.<\/p>\n

Students have submitted business plans based around a wide range of business ventures covering everything from software applications to artisan food businesses, including a considerable number focused around sustainability.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the significance of the Enterprise Fair, Bristol Business School’s Nick Kent, said, \u201cThe Enterprise Fair \u2013 which gives students the opportunity to pitch their business ideas in a public arena – really is the icing on the cake of the Enterprise Project module; a supervised dissertation module which sees students working up a business idea into a full business plan over the course of the final year of their degrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the second time that we’ve run this particular event and we’re hoping to build on the success that we had last year. Students take away the ability to create and develop a full business plan \u2013 a very transferable skill which will be equally valuable in the private, public or third sectors. The business plan draws on and integrates knowledge from a wide range of subjects including strategy, marketing, operations, and accounting and finance. The students also gain an appreciation that you need much more than just a good idea to prepare to launch a successful business.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn essence we believe that the Enterprise Project provides an arena to enable students to create and develop a unique business opportunity by synthesising ideas from their prior learning, research that they’ve carried out, and their own individual creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are a range of prizes for the best projects, all generously sponsored by Peter Fane of Nurture Landscapes<\/a>, an alumnus of the University. Prizes include Best Enterprise Project, Best ‘sustainable’ Enterprise Project and two prizes for ‘The Projects with the Most Potential’.<\/p>\n

Students are set to benefit from state-of-the art facilities, as the new building for the Faculty of Business and Law<\/a> draws a step closer to completion. A ceremony<\/a> recently took place to mark construction reaching the top floor of the landmark building with completion due for January 2017.<\/p>\n
