Business development
If you have a promising potential business or social enterprise, the competition provides a fantastic opportunity to find out if your idea has commercial viability, and to discover how you can make it a reality.
Ideas do not need to be fully developed at this stage, and entrants are not required to have a complete strategy to put the idea into practice.
Competition winners will be announced at the LAUNCH.ed Christmas Party in December. The winner will receive £200 in Amazon vouchers, and two runners-up will take home £50 in Amazon vouchers.
Student entrepreneurship
LAUNCH.ed is the University’s award-winning service for student entrepreneurs.
The service works with students and recent alumni to help them explore, launch and grow their business ideas.
