The workshops are a great way for those with business knowledge to reinforce their expertise but they are also a really good stepping stone for those coming from different areas of study.

A four week workshop programme open to City students, graduate and alumni looking to start and develop their business idea or anyone who may want to develop, test and improve their business ideas prior to the CitySpark Grand Final.

We welcome anyone to attend our workshops however note that the CitySpark competition itself is only open to the City community (terms and conditions apply). These workshops will help increase your chances of winning one of the 5 x £5,000 awards.

Delivered on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm until 4pm, these lively and engaging workshops will introduce you to the tools you can use to and provide hands-on tips and advice for founders to validate their thinking, build a strong business case and work towards success in this year's CitySpark competition.

Defining the business opportunity and identifying customer needs

The first workshop will help you find out more about how to research the customer problem that you are solving and to draft a customer needs statement! This is very important for developing the later stages of your business! 

Please note this event has changed from being in person to being online. Link will be shared on the day of the event.
