Bradford Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem
The Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem (BREE) can support you as you turn your business idea into a reality.
As part of the University of Bradford, we’re open to staff, students and our local community, building on the strengths of our vibrant industrial city to lead the way for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Bradford-Renduchintala Enterprise Ecosystem draws on the University of Bradford’s long-standing history of research and innovation, including transformations in digital publishing and ground-breaking pharmaceutical technology, to co-create and co-develop business ideas from the inspirational people of Bradford. Read more about our vision for the programme.
BREE has been made possible thanks to a £1.25m donation from alumnus Dr Murthy Renduchintala, and a further £1.25m from the university. It is open to students, staff and members of the community, who will be able to pitch ideas and bid for grants.
BREE nurtures budding entrepreneurs to develop and grow successful businesses, playing a pivotal role in unlocking the potential and growth of our diverse and entrepreneurial city.
We're also keen to connect with individuals with valuable experience who would like to contribute to the ecosystem - find out more on our Collaborate page.
