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.”
