“SETsquared welcomes the Wilson Report which puts universities at the heart of the innovation cycle and engagement with business,” said Graham Harrison, partnership director at SETsquared. “The report’s proposals that students should be more aware of the importance of business, and of how they can get into it , are of particular value to the individual and to the UK as a whole.
 
“The report identifies the enormous potential for universities to work collaboratively, something which SETsquared has been doing for the last ten years. The Universities of Bath, Bristol, Exeter, Southampton and Surrey collaborate to make sure that under-graduates and post-graduates combine skills in their field with an appreciation of the enterprise agenda which is useful whether they’re going into academia, the corporate world or setting up their own business.”
 
“SETsquared also has a business acceleration centre at each of the five partner universities, which are currently helping 250 start-up businesses get off the ground with the support of business mentors as well as access to funders and professional advisors”
