Enterprise Showcase: Where Big Ideas Take Centre Stage
🗓️ Date: Wednesday 2nd July 2025
⏰ Time: 12:30 – 5:30 PM
📍 Location: The Common Room and The Export Atrium
Join us for the Enterprise Showcase – a dynamic event where student entrepreneurs pitch their innovative ideas to a live audience of peers, staff, and potential investors. This is your chance to discover exciting new startups, offer feedback, and get inspired by the next generation of changemakers.
The showcase is the culmination of a four-part workshop series held throughout May, where students have developed, refined, and prepared to present their business ideas. Now it’s time to see them in action!
Enterprise Showcase at Republic: Where Ideas Compete & You Decide the Winner
At Republic’s Enterprise Showcase, students pitch their brilliant business ideas, and you get to play investor. But here’s the twist: we’ve gamified the whole experience.
Here’s how it works:
💸 Step 1: Collect Your Republic Money
When you arrive, you’ll receive your Republic money: a fun, fictional currency you’ll use to ‘invest’ in the business ideas you love. Then, explore the showcase, chat with student entrepreneurs, and hear their pitches.
🤔 Step 2: Decide Who You Want to ‘Invest’ In
Use your Republic money to back the business or businesses that impress you the most. You can go all-in on one idea or split your investment across multiple teams, it’s entirely up to you.
📦 Step 3: Make Your Investment
Each student or team will have their own investment box. Drop your Republic money into the boxes of the businesses you want to support.
🏆 Step 4: The Business with the Most Support Wins
At the end of the event, the business that collects the most Republic money wins the Enterprise Showcase. It’s a fun and competitive way to recognise innovation, creativity, and strong pitching skills.
What to Expect:
🚀 Startup Pitches – Hear from student-led ventures as they present their business ideas and compete for support.
🗣️ Peer Feedback – Share your thoughts and ideas to help shape the future of student enterprises.
🤝 Meet Innovators – Connect with up-and-coming entrepreneurs and fellow creatives.

🗓️ Workshop Dates: Wednesdays – 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th May 2025, 1:00 – 3:00 PM in The Common Room.
