Your Entrepreneurship Calendar and Application Deadlines
Ignite is an intensive, one-week entrepreneurship training programme for aspiring entrepreneurs and corporate innovators to trial and prepare business ideas for the commercial environment.
Ignite’s unique blend of practical teaching sessions, expert clinics, mentor sessions and advice and support from experienced entrepreneurs and innovators will be enhanced by scheduled site visits to several of Cambridge’s notable startups including the rising stars in technology and life sciences. Delegates will hear from their founders how they developed and brought an idea to market.
Apply as a “student” to explore entrepreneurship, evaluate technologies, and help bring transformative ideas to market. Alternatively, apply as an “inventor” to work with a team of top-flight researchers who will assess the commercial feasibility of your technology as part of their learning journey.
Join for an intensive two-day programme designed to help researchers transform AI for science innovations into real-world impact through entrepreneurship. From 25-26 June 2025, the first ai@cam Sciencepreneurship bootcamp will provide hands-on workshops, training, and mentoring to help researchers develop AI for science tools and learn more about entrepreneurship.
The Accelerate Programme in collaboration with the Cambridge Centre for Data-Driven Discover (C2D3) is offering small grants for University of Cambridge researchers pursuing innovative applications of AI, in research or real-world contexts.
