LSE Generate, the School’s home for entrepreneurship, has secured a prestigious sixth place ranking among Europe’s top 125 Leading Start-Up Hubs. Emerging as the top British university in-house incubator, this achievement underscores the School’s dedication to fostering entrepreneurial excellence.
The accolade, bestowed after a rigorous analysis by Statista, The Financial Times, and Sifted, places LSE Generate at the forefront of Europe’s start-up scene.
