Overview

INSO x Innovation Network x University of Oxford - a partnership powering the next generation of innovators.

This year’s EnSpire Oxford programme has been nothing short of exceptional. Together with Innovation Network, INSO has had the privilege of leading founders, innovators, and aspiring entrepreneurs from across the University of Oxford through a 7-week journey of clarity, experimentation, strategy, and pitch-ready confidence. Across the weeks, participants dived deep into the real fundamentals of building something that lasts. Week after week, we saw something special: ambitious students leaning in, challenging themselves, collaborating fearlessly, and turning uncertainty into structured opportunity. And with over 50 entrepreneurs in the cohort, the energy was electric.

This is what an incubator should feel like - practical, fast-moving, collaborative and deeply human.

This collaboration between INSO, Innovation Network, and the University of Oxford represents a model for high-performance innovation education: structured, fast-moving, practical and deeply human. We extend our thanks to our partners: Grant Vernon, Connor Wakefield, Chad Smith (Innovation Network) Diana Lee and Victoria Porritt (EnSpire Oxford) Together, we helped a cohort of talented founders build stronger foundations, smarter strategies, and more confident futures. Here’s to the founders who showed up, experimented, challenged themselves and grew. Here’s to the partnership that made it possible. And here’s to the ideas that will only get bigger.
