Earlier this year, we opened Oxford Edge: a new Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the heart of Oxford at 37 St Giles. This state of the art facility exists to educate, inspire and empower the next generation of student entrepreneurs from across the entire University of Oxford, offering them the chance to develop their own ideas. The vacation programmes are an invaluable opportunity for budding entrepreneurs, combining cutting-edge academic insight with real-world venture-building expertise.

Financial support enables students from all financial backgrounds to participate in the programmes, without needing to worry about living costs. Further funding would enable us to provide support to more students, widening participation in Oxford Edge’s programmes.
