How To Turn Your Ideas Into Reality

The most influential programme on the entrepreneurial calendar starts on October 23rd 2007 with a lecture on ‘Motivation – Why we do it: Why enterprise and entrepreneurship are important and understanding the key behaviours of successful entrepreneurs’ with our keynote speakers, Alex van Someren, Co-founder and CEO of nCipher and CfEL Entrepreneur in Residence, and Dr Nicko van Someren, Co-founder and CTO of nCipher.

Enterprise Tuesday is a series of free evening lectures and networking sessions run by the Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL), part of Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, from October to February. The aim is to inspire people to pursue entrepreneurial ambitions and build basic business skills.

CfEL’s Enterprise Tuesday is a major focus on entrepreneurship for the University demonstrating the application of learning to solve problems and create businesses. It is also coordinated with the Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE) business creation competitions.

The 2007/08 programme boasts an amazing line up of first class speakers including John Barnes, Director of Caffè Nero; Lord Karan Bilimoria CBE DL (Founder of Cobra Beer); Dr. Hermann Hauser (Founder of Acorn and serial entrepreneur), Karren Brady (MD of Birmingham FC and board member of Sport England); Prof Sir Richard Friend (Cavendish Professor of Physics at the University of Cambridge) and Duncan Goose (Founder of OneWater).
