Empowering Entrepreneurs, Driving Innovation
Our journey began in late 2019 with a bold vision: to create a business incubation hub that empowers students and the local community. By 2020, Oxford Business College (OBC) took decisive steps to turn this vision into reality. With the launch of the Business Incubation Centre (BIC) and the Business Growth Crash (BGC) Programme, we provided aspiring entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and support needed to succeed in the fast-paced world of business.
In line with these developments lies IBIIC’s five-year transformation strategy (2023-2028). This strategy establishes IBIIC as a leader in global business innovation and incubation. It encompasses our vision, mission, values, and strategic goals, seamlessly blending the strategic principles of our People, Technology, and Innovation (PTI) approach. Aimed at fostering a vibrant and supportive setting for our students, staff and local communities of OBC campuses, who IBIIC strategy refers to as entrepreneurs. IBIIC aims towards a future where it stands as the focal point of business innovation and incubation excellence.
The overwhelming response from students and local businesses fueled our ambition to expand. By extending the incubation initiative from Oxford to our campuses in West London, Slough, and Nottingham, we strengthened our commitment to fostering innovation across the UK.
A Global Vision for Business Incubation
In late 2022, we took a significant leap forward by establishing the International Business Innovation and Incubation Centre (IBIIC)—a milestone that solidified OBC’s reputation as a leader in entrepreneurial education.
Building upon this foundation, in 2023, we appointed dedicated Business Incubation Managers for each OBC campus: Oxford, Nottingham, West London, and Slough. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Qureshi, this team has redefined business incubation, transforming IBIIC into a dynamic hub for innovation.
Shaping the Future of Entrepreneurship
At IBIIC, we are more than just an incubation centre—we are a thriving ecosystem where ideas flourish, businesses take shape, and future leaders emerge. Our mission is clear: to provide cutting-edge support, mentorship, and resources that drive success in an ever-evolving business landscape.
Join us on this journey as we continue to empower entrepreneurs and shape the future of business innovation.
