What Experts Say:

Why do Universities take part?

Why should my University send a team to FLUX 2010? - FLUX has a track record in creating value for students and universities in terms of increasing their knowledge of business, raising their aspirations and confidence as well as putting them in front of potential recruiters in a dynamic business context. It gives students a new way of exercising their skills and testing themselves in a high profile environment.

Why do University Staff support FLUX? – Universities also find that FLUX participants are subsequently more likely to engage in other enterprise activities when back at university, driven by the chance to represent their university at a national level and win a significant cash prize.

What else can happen? - A number of students who have attended FLUX in the past have gone on to create businesses while still at university. So if you are running an incubation or technology transfer unit you may find that students exiting FLUX may be potential tenants.

"FLUX was honestly one of the best days I have taken part in whilst at university. A totally thrilling experience!!! The day was well organised throughout with a clear schedule and emphasis on the participants. It is an excellent way of evoking a greater level of confidence within yourself whilst teaching you how to apply your own knowledge. Don't get me wrong it was also one of the hardest days as well. The pressure you are put under from an early stage is challenging yet exhilarating, you have to learn as you are going along. The element of competition gives the event a real thrill factor. It is hard to fault the dragons who are nothing but honest however also offer advice and encouragement all the time. The key for myself was to really immerse yourself in the situation you are thrown into with complete strangers, learn early to work as a team and respect everyone's opinions. Listen to what they have to say and learn from their experiences and advice. All in all a top day even better because we won!!"
