Campus
We provide support from idea
generation up to the early business stages
through workshops, one-to-one sessions,
and competitions. Our strong business
focus drives development of consultancy,
knowledge transfer, and research projects,
engaging businesses to collaborate with
UEL academics.
We identify research and
collaboration opportunities with
businesses, government, and community
groups to promote high-quality and
innovative research carried out at UEL.
Enterprise and Innovation Unit also
manages UEL spin-offs. One of them is
FABPAD, a leading fabric print bureau

fibre fabrics such as silks and cottons.
Its professional and valuable service
is available to students, independent
designers, fashion and textile studios,
photographers, and artists.
