Salford Business School will close Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025 with an inspiring celebration of purpose led enterprise. This energising morning will show how student founders, local entrepreneurs and community partners are using innovation to create real social impact and regeneration in Salford and beyond.

Attendees will hear from a keynote conversation with social entrepreneurs, take part in live discussions on why enterprise with purpose matters, and witness lightning presentations where student founders pitch their ideas in two minutes. Expert panellists will offer rapid, practical feedback on each pitch, giving students direct insight from experienced change makers.

This closing event is designed to inspire, connect and launch the next wave of socially driven ventures. It will also give participants a chance to explore opportunities with CSI, Launch at Salford Digital and other enterprise initiatives that support student founders to turn ideas into businesses that enrich communities and shape a better future.
