The Masood Entrepreneurship Centre (MEC) presents an innovative half-day event showcasing the future of entrepreneurship as part of the Alliance Manchester Business School's Festival of Business.

The event starts at 2:00pm with an inspiring keynote address delivered by the influential Dr Vivek Koncherry. Following this, the day will transition into a dynamic multi-track format with concurrent sessions, allowing you to customise your experience based on your interests. These breakout sessions will cover topics such as the entrepreneurial mindset advantage, supercharging your productivity with AI, and financial investments in the startup world. You'll then be able to meet key players in our entrepreneurial ecosystem during a special speed pitching round featuring MEC's valued partners.

This will be followed by our Entrepreneurs@Manchester talk, a thought-provoking panel discussion moderated by Reuters Editor at Large, Axel Threlfall.

To close the day, we will have a live pitching session featuring students from our Manchester Venture Builder cohort. These aspiring entrepreneurs will be presenting their innovative business concepts to the audience.

Whether you're an investor seeking promising opportunities, an entrepreneur looking for inspiration, or curious about emerging innovations from The University of Manchester, this event offers valuable insights into tomorrow's business landscape.
