Introducing Tectona, Plymouth University’s new business challenge open to all our staff and students.
Chosen to symbolise strength, durability, navigation, growth and journeys, Tectona is the new name for the redeveloped Business Ideas Challenge.
If you are a budding entrepreneur and a student or staff member at Plymouth University, Plymouth University colleges or CUC (Cornwall)* and would like to progress your idea to business formation, then enter the competition to access the support you need.
The exciting pilot competition will take place from the 6th – 12th June 2012 with 3 days of support provided to help knock your plans into shape before final submission - so don’t forget to keep the dates:
If you are interested in taking part please email formationzone@plymouth.ac.uk and we’ll keep you informed and send you updates with online resources you can access to prepare for the event in June.
We’re testing out some great new opportunities as part of this pilot including new online resources and a new format for delivery, based on our consultation and research into business competitions, so that in 2012/13 academic year we can roll out a year long programme!
