This week, the Neurodiversity & Entrepreneurship Association (NEA) and Durham University Business School will welcome researchers, business owners, support professionals and policymakers to NEA25: Neurodivergent Futures – Reimagining Entrepreneurship.

Across 27–28 November, delegates will come together to explore one of the most exciting and fast-growing areas in the field: neurodivergent entrepreneurship – and what it means for the future of innovation, inclusion and economic growth.

NEA25 brings together leading voices from research, practice and policy.

• Academic researchers will share cutting-edge insights into neurodiversity, entrepreneurship and inclusive ecosystems.
• Neurodivergent business owners will be telling their stories – the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the creativity that drives their work.
• Support providers and network professionals will discuss how we can celebrate, showcase and nurture neurodivergent talent across all stages of the entrepreneurial journey.
