Over 600 students, educators and entrepreneurs from across the UK (and beyond) gathered in Liverpool last weekend for the Student Enterprise Conference 2015.

The weekend was bursting with inspiring talks, informative workshops, and opportunities to network with other like minded delegates. The event, delivered by NACUE and Santander, featured inspirational talks from the big names in entrepreneurship, including Ella Jade (Founder of Ella Jade Interiors and BBC Apprentice 2014 Candidate), Ella Romanos (Cofounder of Strike Game Labs) and Ben Towers (the 16 year old founder of Towers Design). See the full programme here.

As well as inspiring speeches from those who’ve been there and done it, delegates also had the chance to learn new practical skills and knowledge. Delegates learnt how to pitch products to retailers, how to unleash their leadership potential and even took part in a two hour coding workshop! 

We also launched our brand new membership scheme NACUE Talent! We invited conference members to be pioneers and to help us build this service together. Find out more about how you can be part of it.

It’s been fantastic for us at NACUE to see the growth of the Student Enterprise Conference over the last few years (when we started in 2010 we had 80 delegates). The growing number of students attending really highlights a growing interest in enterprise and entrepreneurship from the ground up at colleges and universities. Long may it continue!  

You can see a large selection of our pictures from the weekend over on our Facebook page.

Powering the Enterprising Generation

Our mission is to support the development of education and student engagement throughout college and universities by championing student enterprise societies and peer-to-peer learning. NACUE started from an extraordinary movement in student entrepreneurship, providing young individuals with a platform to be experimental, creative and inspiring in their approach to enterprise and entrepreneurship, encouraging a bottom-up approach to inspiring the next generation.


Today, we see over 200 enterprise societies, powered by peer-to-peer groups, who are championing the success of young people throughout their interactive programmes by forging collaborative relationships with their institutions to provide greater experience and development opportunities for their peers. Establishing regional links with locals SME’s who are keen to open their doors to emerging talented, proactive and enthusiastic graduates perpetuates this.


Our work is dedicated to supporting the development and encouragement of entrepreneurship amongst young individuals and forms the sole purpose of NACUE. To learn more about NACUE and the services we produce, click here.

As a not-for-profit, we raise charitable donations that allow us to widen the opportunities available to young people in relation to enterprise and entrepreneurship, strengthening student engagement, the quality of education and connecting and representing student enterprise societies and student entrepreneurs worldwide.

NACUE is a charitable organisation that supports 32,000 students and young people every year. As funding becomes harder to obtain, we rely on the generous support of donors to ensure our programs can continue to change the lives and aspirations of the younger generation.


A donation of any size goes a long way to furthering our work and really is greatly appreciated. Every gift matters in aiding our mission of ‘Powering the Enterprising Generation' but we mainly rely upon the generosity of our members and alumni to do this. By making a single or regular donation you can make a big difference. To learn more about how you can donate, please follow the links below.
