Bring your ideas to life
Imperial Enterprise Lab is the College’s dedicated entrepreneurship training centre for students and postdocs
We provide year-round extra-curricular programmes, masterclasses, and community events, combined with 1-to-1 advice from over 150 expert coaches and mentors, to help you explore new ideas and bring them to life.
Whether you want to tackle a pressing social or environmental challenge, develop new skills to help you in your career, launch the next global tech unicorn or just meet interesting new people – we’re here to help you.
We believe anyone can be an entrepreneur and will support any founder working on any idea – free of charge and with no expectation of equity in return.
All we ask from you is the courage to put your convictions to the test and the humility to learn.
