2. Summary of Project
Launchpad is a graduate incubation and acceleration programme designed to build new high growth businesses to meet market demand in just 12 months. It is also an innovative method of graduate incubation as it is underpinned by a specially designed one-year (MA) Entrepreneurship programme, where setting up a new high growth business becomes the learning vehicle. This means students both build a new business and gain a Master's Degree at the same time.
