Successful business events

Tickets for the Business & IP Centre's Inspiring Entrepreneurs series are becoming so popular they change hands on eBay. Sponsored by HSBC, topics like the Rise of the Black British Entrepreneur, the Asian Advantage and Ethical Entrepreneurs give a new, enterprising audience inspiration and advice.

Webcasts and podcasts of events help share the knowledge and experience of prominent businesspeople such as James Brown, founding editor of Loaded, Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, of Black Farmer® fame, and Lord Bilimoria (above), creator of Cobra Beer.

The Centre offers a daily programme of workshops providing targeted, in-depth information and advice, as well as free access to high-value subscription databases, market research reports, journals and directories.
