On the 12th of June, NACUE embarked on a groundbreaking partnership with The Bakery (a top second stage tech accelerator) to bring great minds together through a series of events. We kicked off with The Proving Ground, an informal gathering at The Bakery HQ in East London. Screen Shot 2015-06-16 at 15.15.37 Over 40 supporters from a wide range of degree backgrounds and age groups came to listen to entrepreneurial journeys and understand the opportunities in the entrepreneurial space. During the event The Bakery hosted real life challenges facing major organisations and invited supporters to propose solutions. The Bakery’s philosophy is to match problems facing corporates with solutions suggested by would be entrepreneurs, and if the chemistry (or the baking temperature!) is correct, the entrepreneurs would commence their start up in the safe knowledge that there is already a huge customer! The Bakery Co-Founder and serial entrepreneur Andrew Humphries said: ‘I was really impressed by the desire and passion of the students. Not just smart people, it felt that there was a lot of latent entrepreneurial talent in the room; I met many who are clearly already well advanced on their journey, and we at The Bakery are keen to continue to engage and provide even more avenues for them to explore.’  NACUE CEO Johnny Luk said: ‘We are absolutely delighted to work with a top accelerator like The Bakery. We have an incredibly large and talented network, and we want to continue to give our network practical opportunities to realise their innovative potential.’ This event is merely a starting point for further collaborations as we look forward to the new academic term!

Powering the Enterprising Generation

Our mission is to support the development of education and student engagement throughout college and universities by championing student enterprise societies and peer-to-peer learning. NACUE started from an extraordinary movement in student entrepreneurship, providing young individuals with a platform to be experimental, creative and inspiring in their approach to enterprise and entrepreneurship, encouraging a bottom-up approach to inspiring the next generation.


Today, we see over 200 enterprise societies, powered by peer-to-peer groups, who are championing the success of young people throughout their interactive programmes by forging collaborative relationships with their institutions to provide greater experience and development opportunities for their peers. Establishing regional links with locals SME’s who are keen to open their doors to emerging talented, proactive and enthusiastic graduates perpetuates this.


Our work is dedicated to supporting the development and encouragement of entrepreneurship amongst young individuals and forms the sole purpose of NACUE. To learn more about NACUE and the services we produce, click here.

As a not-for-profit, we raise charitable donations that allow us to widen the opportunities available to young people in relation to enterprise and entrepreneurship, strengthening student engagement, the quality of education and connecting and representing student enterprise societies and student entrepreneurs worldwide.

NACUE is a charitable organisation that supports 32,000 students and young people every year. As funding becomes harder to obtain, we rely on the generous support of donors to ensure our programs can continue to change the lives and aspirations of the younger generation.


A donation of any size goes a long way to furthering our work and really is greatly appreciated. Every gift matters in aiding our mission of ‘Powering the Enterprising Generation' but we mainly rely upon the generosity of our members and alumni to do this. By making a single or regular donation you can make a big difference. To learn more about how you can donate, please follow the links below.
