Innovation Showcase

Congratulations to all of our previous entrants!

Each year brave students take part in our annual DCS innovation competition, where they pitch their innovative individual and group projects in our annual Dragons’ Den-style event.

Workshop

To support the pitches, industry experts deliver a workshop before the event, where contestants are grilled on their business plans and tested their business acumen. Most pitches started their life as academic projects, but the content and style of delivery should be refined for the strongest pitches.
