When we tackle global challenges, we venture further.
By supporting entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey, UQ will not only engage the existing student body, but will also attract future students, create game-changing graduates, connect with alumni, and draw in new partners. We call this effort UQ Ventures.
Every student at UQ will have the opportunity to experience entrepreneurial learning. Building on our excellence in teaching and research, we will embed entrepreneurial learning across all disciplines, and continue to deepen engagement with local and global partners.
