University of East London Business Incubator Programme

The RDSBL Business Incubator Programme at the University of East London supports aspiring entrepreneurs, start-ups, and early-stage ventures that want to develop and launch their business ideas. It is designed to help participants move from ideation through to market entry, whether they are building a social enterprise or a commercial venture.

Participants can access practical workshops, one-to-one mentoring, networking opportunities, and connections with other business support organisations. The programme is delivered both in-person and online, and is open to current students, alumni, and local early-stage businesses.

It is a free six-week course, with a September cohort beginning in late September 2026. The programme also includes opportunities to pitch business ideas to guests and the wider business support community, with prizes including access to workspace.
