Start-up Weekender

08/03/2025 - 09/03/2025

9:30am - 4pm

Studio X, Innovation Centre, Colchester

If you fancy being your own boss one day, join Essex Startups next weekend (8-9 March) for their annual Start-up Weekender for an introduction to getting a business off the ground!

During this two-day event, you’ll work in small teams on a fictitious business idea. You’ll be challenged with tasks and activities that allow you to learn first-hand the processes of starting a business from scratch.  

You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of starting a business and the steps you need to take to make it a success.
