IDEAS FOR IMPACT

Interested in start-ups but don’t have a start-up idea?

What it is: A fast-paced, one-day event designed to help students and early-stage entrepreneurs come up with a brand new start-up idea.

What happens: Over the course of 12 hours, participants form teams with people from different academic backgrounds (engineering, science, business, tech, arts, etc.) to brainstorm, refine, and develop a start-up idea. They receive support and feedback from mentors and advisors throughout the day.

Why it's useful: It’s perfect for anyone who wants to build entrepreneurial skills, meet like-minded people, and come away with a pitch-ready idea that could turn into a real business. You don’t need to come with an idea — just an open mind and willingness to explore!

When & How to Join: The next event takes place in Autumn 2025. Sign up for the student community newsletter to get notified when registration opens.
