POSTPONED: Business Breakfast Meeting – Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The University of East London is delighted to invite members from the Newham Chamber of Commerce to a pre-launch event for the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability (RDCS) at UEL Docklands Campus.

This is an exciting opportunity for NCC members to experience the RDCS before it formally launches on the 6 December. The RDCS will be a new hub that provides a regional hatchery for innovation, skills and enterprise, supporting a more sustainable and resilient future for businesses, students and residents in the Royal Docks and East London supporting the following services:

Convene & connect – bring together UEL researchers, students, alumni with businesses and local residents
Skills development – supply the region’s new and existing businesses with a skilled workforce
Enterprise incubation, innovation & business support – incubate good growth businesses that pioneers the new economy
Community wealth building – for Newham residents and East London

The breakfast meeting will provide you with the opportunity to hear from the Royal Docks Enterprise team, UEL and RDCS to experience how the new facility will play a new role in strengthening UEL’s collaboration with the London Borough of Newham and support the delivery of our shared mission to bring high quality learning and career opportunities to local communities, which directly create social growth.
