This programme aims to identify potential beneficiaries of research, introduce participants to tools for commercialisation, and foster consideration of entrepreneurship as a pathway for achieving societal impact and a viable career choice.
12 weeks full-time programme with up to £35,000 funding available to help research teams get out of the lab and explore the commercial potential of their research or technology. Applicants will receive expert training on a 5 day in-person and virtual bootcamp followed by 12 weeks of market discovery and support to test key market assumptions.
