The 12-week programme for aspiring entrepreneurs from a refugee background with innovative business ideas was established by TERN (The Entrepreneurial Refugee Network) in collaboration with Ben & Jerry's in 2017 to support early-stage entrepreneurs develop business models, build networks, and gain professional experience. Since its launch, UP Collective has championed over 300 individuals across 95 countries.
The evening involved detailed pitches from the entrepeneurs, who presented their business ideas to the group, delicious food and drinks prepared by members of the programme, as well as networking with friends of TERN. From saffron-infused soft drinks to tufting rugs and social events curated for women, the night was filled with inspiring pitches and impressive creations.
Congratulations to all graduates from this year's programme. We look forward seeing them take the next step in their entrepreneurial journeys.
