BG Futures: Mark Bowen

Originally opened in 2007 as The Sky Centre, BG's business and enterprise hub was a pilot project created and funded via the Higher Education Innovation Fund. Having enjoyed major success, and more demand than availability, the University took the next step and secured funding to develop the building from a 5 unit, 1 meeting room, small scale business and enterprise facility, to a two-storey, 15 unit business and enterprise hub with 3 state of the art conference rooms.

Bishop Grosseteste University is committed to supporting business and enterprise both within the institution and in the wider community.

By co-locating the Business Development Office within BGFutures we aim to develop enterprising students, staff, alumni and anyone else seeking to further their business ideas. Through events, advice and other business support initiatives, we will help create the kind of entrepreneurial attitudes needed to face tomorrow's business challenges.
