Business Innovation and Creation Unit

The Business Innovation and Creation Unit works at the heart of the University and has a mission to support both student enterprise through The Hive and Academic Enterprise through the Business Innovation Team.

Business Innovation has developed an exciting tool kit to create links with businesses, and other partner organisations.

Key projects include the Nottingham Knowledge Network, the Nottingham Creative Network and the City's Creative Business Awards, which have attracted over 500 businesses into the University. We also lead upon GameCity, a pioneering, international video games festival.

Working closely with academics from across the University we manage over 40 'knowledge transfer' programmes which enable academics to test and develop their commercial projects with external organisations.
