During Hilary term 2024, EnSpire hosted the All-Innovate Showcase event as the culmination and celebration of the All-Innovate idea competition. Attendees from the local entrepreneurship ecosystem gathered at Reuben College to view the finalists' Business Model Canvases, hear their pitches and vote for their favourite business idea.
As an early stage idea competition, All-Innovate gave all participants the chance to ideate, plan, test and share entrepreneurial and innovative ideas through the platform Validate - a startup ideas platform. Alongside this, participants were invited to attend four training sessions in order to gain skills in order to create a Business Model Canvas (BMC) while building an entrepreneurial network.
Teams were also invited to apply for funding to test out their idea, and following a judging process, EnSpire were delighted to award £500 funding to many teams, as well as additional funding and the People’s Choice award (chosen by the audience) to Ana Sousa Geros, Paulina Siejka-Zielinska and Zoe Christoforidou, PhD at Dosojin, and the Pro Vice-Chancellor award presented by Lionel Tarassenko to Alina at BioMorph.
Congratulations to all who participated in the 2024 All-Innovate idea competition - we look forward to watching your ventures develop and seeing you on another EnSpire programme very soon.
