About this event
Community Collider is our monthly social that brings together entrepreneurs from every corner of Imperial College London. It’s the place where great minds collide! Make new friends, meet future collaborators and join the Enterprise Lab community in a friendly, relaxed and creative environment at Community Collider.
This special edition of Community Collider is in collaboration with our WE Innovate (WEI) pre-accelerator programme. There will be a panel discussion with women leaders and founders in entrepreneurship.
WE Innovate is a 5-month programme running from January to June for women-led teams with an entrepreneurial idea to explore. WE Innovate supports the development of up to 25 teams through masterclasses, business coaching, 1-to-1 expert support, peer mentoring and much more. There are 3 phases during which 25 teams become a final 5 who then compete for a chance to win a share of the ÂŁ30,000 prize fund. WE Innovate 2025 is open for applications on 1 October – find out more and apply here.
