RUEP: Rise Up Entrepreneurship Programme

Rise Up to the challenge of becoming the next generation of successful entrepreneurs!

What is RUEP?

The Rise Up Entrepreneurship Programme (RUEP) is a series of intensive, interactive workshops designed to help you develop strategies and give you a realistic insight into starting a successful business.

RUEP is for people who are serious about developing their business idea further or for existing businesses that need some guidance to become more effective.

What's in it for me?

  • Hear from entrepreneurs who have experienced the thrill and reality of starting a business from scratch, as they share their lessons learned.
  • Discover what it takes to make your business idea launch, develop and succeed.
  • Develop skills and practical strategies that you can help you grow your business into an asset.
  • Become part of an entrepreneurial community who can nurture and support you and build a network of invaluable business contacts within the region.
  • Get a fast-track to The Rise Up Pitch, where you will gain access to a panel of the region’s most influential and experienced business experts, who are there to offer guidance and advice tailored to your individual needs.
