Enterprise Fellowships
Enterprise Fellowships 2021-23 [Brochure]
The HVB Enterprise Fellowship Programme was an innovative scheme that aimed to support successful individuals to progress research towards commercialisation and to develop the necessary entrepreneurial skills. Following a competitive process in 2021, HVB awarded three fellowships.
The programme offered support in communications and entrepreneurial skills training, together with a flexible approach, enabling the Fellows to seek additional opportunities and maximise their chance of success.
This document presents the progress of the three Fellows.
