The Cambridge University Entrepreneurs Grand Launch, which took place on Tuesday 10 October, was hailed by all as a resounding success. The number of attendees was double that of the previous year and there was a steady stream of people queuing outside the Law Faculty building throughout the evening. This indicates that it will be a bumper year for the CUE business plan competitions which have given away over £280,000 to student and staff businesses to date.

More than 270 people crowded into the lecture theatre to listen to speeches from successful CUE alumni such as Mark Grant, Billy Boyle, Gerhard Symons, Shamus Husheer and Nicola Dee as well as a speech by the University of Cambridge Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, Ian Leslie. "The CUE committee have laid on a stunning launch event," said CUE President, Rahul Vohra. "I've had several people tell me that they found the evening truly inspirational. There is a great atmosphere and I can't wait to see what kinds of business ideas will enter this year."
