Details
This competition opened on 1 June 2016 and is now closed for registrations.
Women in Innovation is our first action under the infocus initiative. Innovate UK will invest £200,000 to get more women innovating in business. We want to enable and encourage more women to participate in Innovate UK competitions and take advantage of our support.
We are running this process to identify 12 women who will benefit from a unique tailor-made package of support. In addition, 4 of these women will also receive £50,000 to further their plans and make a stellar impact in the world of innovation.
The competition is open to any woman in the UK with experience in business innovation.
You must apply before noon 31 August 2016.
