Got a start-up idea? Enter the Venture Further competition
Published on 1 March 17
All you need to do is submit a business proposal to an expert judging panel of enterprise and business professionals.
The competition allows for you, an an individual or as a group, to receive expert feedback on your business ideas and gives you an opportunity to win a £10,000 cash injection to get your business off the ground.
Dr. Martin Henery, Venture Competition Director, said: “Venture Further is a great opportunity for students across the University who are serious about starting a business.
“Venture Further is the perfect platform to put your plans to the test. We are here every step of the way to help you take your idea and turn it into a viable business; many past entrants – not just the winners – have gone on to launch and sustain successful ventures.
“By the same token, many of our students already have their own business, and Venture Further is here to give them a boost and take their enterprise to the next level.”
There are four categories:
- Business: Businesses that have commercial potential via new products or services
- Social: Businesses that improve the lives of people and communities
- Digital: Businesses that apply digital technologies to generate new experiences and innovative business opportunities
- Research: Businesses that focus on the application of university-based research to real-world problems and needs, typically with some form of intellectual property at the heart of the business
