On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This session is open to all, ideally for founders and aspiring founders who want to drive innovation rather than stifle it.
Join us for the next session in our Venture Bites online series, hosted by the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre.
This session explores how corporates and entrepreneurs can build successful, mutually beneficial relationships that drive innovation rather than stifle it. Participants will learn practical frameworks for embedding innovative products and start-up solutions within complex corporate environments, while maintaining agility and creative freedom. The course highlights real-world case studies, common pitfalls, and proven strategies to help both sides collaborate effectively and deliver lasting impact.
