EnterpriseTECH runs for around 10 weeks and involves a 4-day lecture series and a real-world team project. You work in teams with students and researchers from other disciplines. With guidance from your business supervisor, your team produces a commercial feasibility report, a video infomercial and learns how to pitch. After the lectures, the programme runs in the evenings with supervisions and some additional workshops. See photos from our galleries.
Past projects include future manufacturing, data & digital economy, medical devices, healthcare solutions, drug discovery, food security, energy & sustainable infrastructure, engineering, biotechnology, data & AI, mental well-being, and bioscience for health. You can see a longer list on the Past projects tab on this page.
