Julie Logan is the Director of Simfonec,
a Science Enterprise Centre led by Cass Business School, City of London.
Simfonec is partnered with City University, and with the Royal Veterinary

The Centre’s mission is to deliver science ideas to the commercial

been built upon successful collaboration.

Centre, before which she had been instrumental in setting up the
enterprise centre at the University of Bristol.

was also Head of the International Small Business Centre in Bristol, where
she developed programmes to encourage entrepreneurship and business growth
in Bosnia, Vietnam and Kenya. Julie has a PhD degree for which she
undertook research into the links between dyslexia and entrepreneurship.
She also lectures and publishes on entrepreneurship and enterprise
strategy. Julie comes from a family of serial entrepreneurs, and has first
hand experience of business start up and small business management.
