This year's Midlands ICURe is open for applications - and this time it is online, so more accessible to a wider range of applicants, and we encourage applications from those who may have been unable to participate in previous years.

Innovation to Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe) is 3 month customer discovery programme designed using lean start-up methodology and funded by Innovate UK.

ICURe trains, funds and supports teams led by university early-career researchers (ECRs) to determine whether there is a market for products or services that utilise their research, science or technology. Up to £35,000 of funding is available to ‘get out of the lab’ and validate these commercially promising ideas in the marketplace.

The deadline for applications is 5th June, so please visit our webpage here to find out more and to apply.
