Technology Entrepreneurship CPD for PhDs and ECRs: “The best way to predict the future…”
Join the Technology Entrepreneurship Bootcamp (TEB) 2026: PhD & ECR CPD Edition, 7-11 December, Exeter. Intensive 5 days of CPD, translate your research into pitchable impact and gain the innovation skills employers demand.
What to expect:
Over five immersive days, you will develop an entrepreneurial mindset, apply design thinking to real customer problems, build a business model, and deliver a final pitch to an investor panel. Sessions are led by Gigi Wang, Industry Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology (SCET), alongside Exeter’s own faculty and a network of experienced practitioners and entrepreneurs.
Why apply?
TEB is not a lecture based course. It is a hands-on, high-energy week where ideas become ventures and strangers become collaborators. Past participants have described it as one of the most formative experiences of their academic lives. Whatever you want to do in the future, learn highly transferable soft-skills at the TEB 2026 Bootcamp, that will enable you to confidently start new initiatives and stand out from the crowd.
“Working with people from completely different disciplines at TEB was the best thing I did all year.”
Who should apply?
TEB is open to postgraduates, PhD students and Early Career Researchers from any discipline or institution. You do not need prior experience in business, innovation or technology. You need curiosity, ambition, and a willingness to collaborate across boundaries.
