The annual Centre for Future Enterprise Colloquium was a success, but don’t take it from us, hear from the students, Lauren Fell and Tendai Makasi and Prof Martin Obschonka, “It was a good event – congrats to the organisers and all those that joined the event here and online…it is a great HDR community that celebrates diversity and curiosity, despite all the challenges during the crisis! Well done!”
