Our History:

Manchester University Enterprise Society was founded by Mr Henry Sicong Li. It was set up to create a community of future business and community leaders. There were similar societies set up before but they all failed after one year of operation. So this time, the founder of the society have put sustainability of the society as a top priority by focusing on the uniqueness of the activities and working with other experienced organizations.

This organisation currently has 1200 members. We organise events range from Friday conversation club taking place once a week to large scale Speakers Series and workshops. We also run numerous competitions and provide pre-seed/seed stage. funding

We are currently working with both local and national organisations across all its activities and events. Our main working partners are Manchester Enterprise Centre, National Association of University Entrepreneurs, Manchester Business School MBA entrepreneurship club, Make Your Mark and NCGE (National Council for Graduate Entrepreneurship).
