Across the UK, enterprise support teams are being asked to do more with less. Yet the biggest untapped asset in most ecosystems is not technology or funding, it is people.

This session explores the role of hyperconnectors, the people who hold ecosystems together through trust and collaboration. Drawing on case studies from Oxford Brookes, the University of Oxford, and BIPC Oxfordshire, we will show how people, not systems, are driving enterprise growth across the region.

This event builds directly on the Hyperconnectors & Enterprise Educators session being delivered at IEEC UK 2025 and expands it into a live, interactive learning format for the wider EEUK community.

Attendees will leave with:

• A printable Ecosystem Mapping Template to visualise and identify their own hyperconnectors.

• Practical examples of cross-institutional collaboration (Oxford Brookes, University of Oxford, BIPC Oxfordshire).

This is not a session about systems or software. It is about people. How to empower them, protect them, and multiply their impact within enterprise education.
