Entrepreneurial students and recent graduates from across The University of Manchester took part in the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre’s annual business start-up competition and applied to win a slice of the Venture Further 2021 £75,000 prize fund to turn their innovative business ideas into reality.
The initial shortlisting of finalists across each of the five competition categories - Environment, Healthcare, Services, Social, and Technology - has been completed.
In a bid to show that they have a viable business start-up with a credible implementation plan, finalists were invited to pitch their idea to a panel of judges consisting of senior staff from The University of Manchester, distinguished alumni, competition partners, and a selection of industry experts.
Winners and runners-up will be announced on Wednesday, 5 May at the annual celebratory event that will be streamed online.
We would also like to thank our partners IBM, Slalom and Vita Student for sponsoring the event.
