Supporting you at every stage of your entrepreneurial journey

The Cube has organised a series of events to support students and graduates at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey – from an idea to a fully-fledged business. If you're interested in attending a session, then please book using the links below or via myCareer and search for The Cube Events.  
Recent feedback on the support includes: 
“What The Cube is doing is phenomenal. The deep insights that speakers bring to the webinars really help. The team that is selecting the speakers is doing a great job. Before Plymouth, I had spent 3–4 years in the entrepreneurship space and finding this type of realistic and practical insight is tough. I learned a great deal about entrepreneurship, thanks to The Cube.”

What's on?

The Cube Connect Networking Event
Time and date: Thursday 25 September - 18:00-19:30
Location: The Cube, Ground Floor, Fitzroy Building, University of Plymouth
Join us for our first The Cube Connect meet-up – an informal monthly gathering for students, graduates, staff and anyone interested in enterprise, freelancing, or innovation. Even if you don’t have a business idea yet – you’re very welcome.
Come along to meet like-minded people, chat with our community, and connect with others who are exploring ideas, building confidence, or simply curious about creative and entrepreneurial careers. At this first meet up, we’ll be taking a look at goal setting, a great way to reflect, reset, and focus for the year ahead. It’s a relaxed and friendly space to connect, share, and support each other’s journeys, whatever stage you're at.
Light refreshments will be provided.
Unfortunately, we’re not able to offer a virtual option for this event, as it’s designed to be an informal, in-person networking opportunity, so we are keeping this as an in-person meet-up so everyone can chat and connect face-to-face.
Book your place
