Following the huge success of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the National Association of College and University Entrepreneurs (NACUE) are hosting the Enterprising Minds Competition with colleges from across London and the south of England.

Skills London is calling for all entrepreneur-focused minds to take part in the competition run by NACUE, to design a new brand for the City of London, the final stages of which will be held at Skills London 2012.
