The Robinson Entrepreneurs Network (REN) exists to bring together those in the Robinson community interested or involved in entrepreneurship, showcasing the tradition of innovation that began with Robinson's founder, Sir David Robinson, a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist. The College was built with an entrepreneurial spirit in mind, and Sir David's vision of Robinson as a forward-thinking, self-sustaining institution is something that we carry with us in all our work. Alongside this, we have strong ties to a number of start-ups and start-up enablers created by Robinson Alumni. First launched in November 2023, we look forward to developing further events alongside our community to help answer the most pressing questions that young entrepreneurs have which otherwise might prevent them entering this vibrant field.
