Institute of Applied Entrepreneurship

The vision of IAE is to become an internationally recognised Institute of excellence promoting an entrepreneurial life style and mindset within the university community and its stakeholders

The IAE prides itself on its passion and creativity in providing advice and support for students and individuals starting a new, or developing an existing business. The IAE is a dynamic institute of Coventry University that aims to unite and develop students and SMEs, through a range of bespoke development programmes that stimulate and inspire.

Known for their quality support programmes, the IAE offers a variety of opportunities to help you develop yourself and your business, these include a European Exchange Programme, Student Enterprise Fund, or an intense programme consisting of mentoring, workshops and grant funding. It also offers its unique 4Front service that allows you to set up your own virtual office, so you can work from home while maintaining the prestige of an office address at its Technology Park on Puma Way.

The IAE are committed to developing conditions for growth and see themselves as facilitators in putting energy back into the market. Increasingly, businesses are accepting that the need to collaborate is critical to their survival, job creation and growth and so the IAE have a package of support that will allow businesses to collaborate in a supported environment. Collaboration through open innovation provides all sizes and shapes of businesses with the opportunities to commercialise new innovative ideas. At the IAE we understand those challenges and work with new and small to medium sized enterprises to forge meaningful partnerships for mutual benefit. We are commonly asking questions to business around;

Do you want to start and grow your business through new commercialisations? Are you looking for opportunities to boost your business profits and expand into global markets? Would you like to work in collaboration to spark new innovative ideas that will increase your revenue?

We might not have all of the answers but collectively we can find the solutions for every business.
