Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum (OSEF)
Want to feel the pulse of Oxford entrepreneurship? Spend a day among the people building it.
Programme overview
OSEF, delivered by Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre, is a one-day conference held annually at Saïd Business School to promote entrepreneurship and innovation. It brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, business leaders and investors, and celebrated its tenth year in 2025.
It's open to everyone: Oxford students at any level, researchers, staff, alumni, and founders from the wider community. There's no application, just book a ticket.
Across the day you'll hear keynote speakers tell their own stories, join panel discussions on where entrepreneurship is heading, discover the newest startups coming out of Oxford, and network with exhibitors. Past keynotes include Maria Raga (Venture Partner at Creandum, former CEO of Depop), Husayn Kassai (CEO and founder of Quench.ai) and Petia Maximova (Head of EMEA Higher Education Sales at Canva).
