To spread their message even further Start-up Britain have embarked on a nationwide bus tour visiting universities and colleges. Last week we went along to their stop at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge to see what they had on offer.
The idea behind taking the start-up bus to universities and colleges is to promote entrepreneurship as a career option for young people. With the bus tour coming only a few weeks after the government?s start-up loans were launched this is an excellent opportunity to inspire young people and then give them practical help and support. Particularly popular at the Cambridge stop of the tour were representatives from Foundation East who are one of the organisations distributing the government start-up funding in our region. Along with representatives from the Federation of Small Businesses and the University they were on hand to give advice to the students on how to start their own business and how to get funding.
The start-up tour has a number of big name sponsors and although most of them were not able to send representatives to Cambridge their offers and information as being passed onto the students. They were also able to use the laptops provided by Dell to register new .co domains.
Despite it being a cold day at least 50 students turned up at the bus in the time that we were there and all of them left with a goody bag including a book by one of the founders of Start-up Britain, Emma Jones, on how to start and run their own business. There seemed to be a really good atmosphere around the bus and the students who were there were enthusiastic about the possibility of embarking on a career as an entrepreneur.
