About Thrive

13-17 November

Thrive Festival is Brookes Enterprise Support's flagship event, celebrating inspiration, creativity and innovation. Open to everyone, it’s a chance for those already interested or involved in enterprise to develop their skills and those who aren’t to get curious.

Enterprise/ Entrepreneurship could mean anything from a project or undertaking, taking initiative, being resourceful, being 'business minded' or owning a business or company.
