Entrepreneurial and Responsible Leadership
The University of York is defining what it means to be an ethical leader in society today.
Our mission is to support the future leaders of society, fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs who will revolutionise industries and drive innovation forward.
Through our scholarship and leadership initiatives, we are helping to shape these leaders, including the next cohort of entrepreneurs.
Empowering the next generation of leaders is at the heart of what we do.
By bringing together regional businesses, entrepreneurs, students and researchers, we are nurturing enterprise and talent to help small businesses grow.
Our collaborative approach brings together a diverse range of stakeholders - from regional businesses to budding entrepreneurs, students, and dedicated researchers.
By leveraging the unique strengths and perspectives of each group, we create opportunities for knowledge exchange, skill enhancement, and cross-sector collaboration, ultimately helping small businesses expand and thrive in a competitive market landscape.
We have a moment in time to not only reaffirm our commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship but to redefine it. I want to give every encouragement to York students and staff and community members to grasp the opportunity to innovate, to be progressive, to create new ideas, and find new solutions to the world’s problems. By doing this, we will create a new generation of entrepreneurial leaders.
