The University of Manchester celebrates women in business by hosting an inspirational event aimed at showcasing the potential of female entrepreneurship and encouraging students to embrace their creativity, spark connections and test out business ideas.

Hosted by the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre, this event features a range of insightful talks and workshops to help build your confidence, broaden your networks, and introduce you to new tools that will help you refine and launch a business idea.

Starting with our Keynote Speakers Alicia and Nat, founders of The Future Kind Collective, who help companies to grow faster and more sustainably by defining their purpose, designing their culture and growing their impact. You’ll hear their experiences, insights, and reflections on how they continually push the limits and drive change.

We then listen to a panel of entrepreneurs, who share their experiences of building confidence despite the fear of failure, whether that be as students, entrepreneurs or in our everyday lives. With experience ranging from the fashion industry to agri-tech solutions, to the creative and dance sector, learn how each of our panel members overcame barriers and set expectations in their respective fields.

Panellists include:

Dr Beenish Siddique - AEH Innovative Hydrogel

Tina Rehana - Aim Sky High Academy & The Purpose Agency

Danielle King - KIHT Collective

Students who want to build connections and understand more about the entrepreneurial experience.

Students who would like to learn more about personal branding, or how to turn their passion into a potential project/business.
