Have you ever had an idea you think would make a great business? Or are you working on something that could become a commercial success? Whether you’ve just scrawled something down on a post-it, or are selling your product or service to customers, Idea Challenge is the programme for you!

The Venture Catalyst Challenge, powered by digital venture builder Blenheim Chalcot, supports deep science and early-stage tech startups founded by Imperial students.

WE Innovate is Imperial’s flagship female entrepreneurship education programme designed to support the next generation of women entrepreneurs to accelerate their startups. The six-month programme supports female students, developing an early stage business idea, to advance their leadership and entrepreneurial skills.

The student society fund is a pot of £15,000 especially dedicated to Imperial’s clubs and societies who want to develop the entrepreneurship skills of their members. From Chemistry to Chess, Physics to Photosoc, or Materials to Magic, the fund is open to all societies and clubs across College.

Collab_ offers a unique opportunity for PhD and MRes students across the College to form teams, develop innovative business ideas and then pitch these to a VIP panel of guests for the chance to win £5,000.

Got an idea that you want to turn into a business, or want to use your skills to help someone who has? Then Launch Weekend is for you! Be inspired by our industry leading speakers and mentors, form a multi-skilled team from across the College, create something new and be in with the chance of winning big.
