Enterprise Challenge

What is Enterprise Challenge?

The Enterprise Challenge is an engaging, in-person programme designed to equip you with essential business knowledge, delivered by experienced industry professionals.

From Ideation to Realisation

Whether you’re eager to start a business or simply want to develop enterprise skills, the Enterprise Challenge will guide you from idea to execution.

To hit the ground running, you’ll need to have a business idea in mind before the first session - even if it’s just theoretical.

This extra-curricular series of workshops will help you develop valuable skills that are applicable to any career. Sessions run every Wednesday and Thursday from 17:00 to 19:00, starting on 24 September 2025, at the Centre for Entrepreneurship.

Throughout the programme, you will:

• Validate your idea with expert guidance
• Develop your concept into a structured business proposal
• Pitch your idea to a panel of judges

You can participate solo, form a team, or bring friends along.

What’s in It for You?

For University of Dundee participants, there's £1,000 in funding available for those looking to take their idea further. Even if you’re not competing for funding, there are exciting prizes to be won that can help advance your career.

Every participant who completes the programme will earn a skills certificate, making this a fantastic opportunity to gain real-world experience and boost your CV.
