Aspirations from Dean & Director
The Ingenuity Lab at Nottingham University Business School is integral to our Tri-Campus strategy, serving as an intellectual and innovative hub that connects our students and alumni globally. It facilitates the exchange of ideas and cultivates entrepreneurial skills necessary for the global business environment. Our approach through the Lab emphasises collaboration and practical learning, preparing our students to navigate and lead effectively in diverse business contexts. This initiative reflects our commitment to providing a world-class education that is not only academically rigorous but also resonant with the demands of responsible business leadership.
At Ingenuity Lab, we believe that entrepreneurship is not just about launching startups—it's a mindset, a way of thinking that empowers individuals to solve problems, create value, and shape the future. As Director, my vision is to build a dynamic, inclusive, and interdisciplinary space where students and alumni can explore ideas with confidence, develop practical entrepreneurial skills, and connect with like-minded innovators across our tri-campus community. Our aspiration is to ignite a new generation of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs—individuals who are not only ready for the market, but ready to revolutionise it. Through immersive programmes and real-world experiences, Ingenuity Lab exists to inspire bold thinking, encourage experimentation, and equip aspiring changemakers with the tools to transform industries and society through innovation.
