Entrepreneurship Education Summit (Ecosystem Fund)

Entrepreneurship Education Network Summit

Building Innovation, Skills and Entrepreneurial Mindsets

Funded through the Scottish Ecosystem Fund 2023–24, this international project brought entrepreneurship educators from across Europe to Glasgow. The aim was simple: share best practice, explore new teaching methods and strengthen entrepreneurship education for the future.

At City of Glasgow College, we are committed to developing the next generation of entrepreneurs by improving how entrepreneurship is taught, learned and applied in real-world settings.
