This networking event follows on similar, highly successful, Business Breakfasts for Young Entrerpreneurs in 2011 and 2010. The event provides an opportunity for participants to network not just with fellow business people of their own age group but to forge links with more established businesses in the city and become part of the established network of business partnerships, support groups with further trading and networking opportunities.

Entrepreneurial University of York students can meet and chat with a number of local and alumni entrepreneurs from a range of sectors. The event is informal and is based in the Student Enteprise Space in the Ron Cooke Hub building.
