The Business & IP Centre at Exeter and Barnstaple Libraries host a range of events and workshops to suit start-ups, entrepreneurs or businesses looking to learn new skills or research their industry.
Webinars run weekly on a variety of subjects and are a great way to get an overview of a new topic, or a refresher which can help you to look at your business plan in a new light. Whether you’re just starting out or an established business looking to grow, our webinars are useful, inspiring and informative.
One-to-ones are useful for enquiring about how you can access business information and support, to discuss a problem or question you have in a specific area of your business, or to find out more about Intellectual Property. Find out more information on our 1-to-1s page.
We’ve all had new year’s resolutions that have fallen to the wayside. Some goals are less important than others, like reading 10 books a month or going to the gym. Business goals like increasing your sales by 10%, creating a new website, or improving your offer to customers are ones you really don’t want to ignore. But how do you put those thoughts into action?
We’ll show you how, as we’re kicking off the new year with a comprehensive, interactive workshop that will help you get on the right track for 2025, featuring our course regular James Court! James will walk you through your company’s vision, get you back on track with planning, and help you set actionable, accountable goals you can follow throughout 2025 on a monthly and quarterly basis. You will come away from this workshop feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new year!
This workshop will take place over the course of 3 hours, with plenty of breaks in between. We’ll supply a healthy variety of snacks and refreshments, and you’re also encouraged to bring your own lunch as there will be time in the session to network with others around noon.
More details are to be announced closer to the event.
