As part of Brunel’s contribution to CODEUNITED, the Entrepreneur Hub is proud to lead the Brunel Start-up Incubator – a programme supporting students to take their entrepreneurial ideas to the next stage.
CODEUNITED is a €1.34M project funded by the EIT Higher Education Initiative, bringing together universities and industry partners across Finland, France, Portugal, Sweden and the UK. Its aim is to build more connected and collaborative approaches to entrepreneurship education, reducing duplication and strengthening innovation ecosystems.
The Brunel Start-up Incubator contributes to this mission by providing a structured pathway for students who have already completed foundational training. Through group sessions, one-to-one mentoring and independent study, participants refine their business ideas, develop skills in market research, financial forecasting, sales and marketing, and create professional pitch decks. The programme culminates in a pitching session with external judges, offering real-world feedback and opportunities to grow.
By combining reflective self-assessments with practical skills development, the Incubator helps Brunel students build the confidence and tools they need to launch and scale their ventures.
