The Student Placements for Entrepreneurs in Education Plus (SPEED Plus) Project is run at 5 universities around the region. This ERDF part-funded project, led by the University of Wolverhampton, is aimed at giving help and support to students and graduates wishing to start their own business.
The simple idea behind SPEED Plus may not be that clever – but it is certainly revolutionary.
Each university administers their own project. Please see the Partner Universities page for their contact details.

Uni graduates’ short film up for top US festival award
Uni graduates' short film up for top US festival award
A short film created by recent graduates of Coventry University's media production course has been shortlisted for an award at one of America's leading lifestyle film festivals.
Black Hill, which was created by a group of former students who formed their own media company Blue Ridge Films, is one of only a handful of British short movies chosen to be showcased at the 14th annual Newport Beach Film Festival.
The graduates – all from the West Midlands – took advantage of the ‘SPEED Plus' enterprise support programme at the University's Institute of Applied Entrepreneurship to start-up their business while studying in 2011, and three of them are set to fly out to California this week.
