Converge Challenge Competition 2010
Jun 10 11 Start: 09:00 End: 17:00
Encouraging researcher innovation
Has your research given you an idea with commercial potential? Would you like to hone your entrepreneurial skills and see your innovation exploited in a business environment? The Converge Challenge Competition is designed to take you from researcher to innovator by giving you the skills and know-how to turn a bight idea into a viable business proposition.
As an aspiring researcher-innovator, you will need to know how to create a business plan and market your innovation, where to access financial support and legal advice, how to build a collaborative team, and what pitfalls to avoid along the route to commercialisation. Formulating a good idea is the important first step; finding advisors with the right expertise to help develop your plan will be critical to your ultimate success.
Converge has brought together a team of experts to support the Converge Challenge winners develop their business ideas through training and advice. In addition, a top prize worth £10,000 (£5,000 funding, plus other benefits) will be awarded to the overall Converge Challenge winner as chosen by our distinguished panel of experts. Two further prizes worth £5,000 and £3,000 will be awarded to the runners-up (1st runner-up will receive £2,500 funding, plus support; and the 2nd runner-up will receive £1,500 plus support).
Applications are now invited for Converge Challenge, the exciting, new business plan competition for researchers!
The deadline for ideas to be submitted is Friday 11th of June.
