Join us in celebrating and networking with founders and enterprising students at the University of Edinburgh.

We are delighted to put on this networking event and provide the opportunity for University of Edinburgh start-up founders and enterprising students to connect with each other.

Over the past year, we have recorded 105 new startup companies coming out of the University of Edinburgh. Our startups secured a record breaking £30.5M of investment (£11M last year), as well as over £2M of grants and other funding. The most notable being six Scottish Enterprise SMART Awards of £100k each, an Innovate UK grant of £345K and UK RI grant of £500K. Our student founders have also topped the leader board for Converge applications and wins at Scottish Edge. In the latest Scottish Edge Round 1/3 of the 40 businesses awarded grants were University of Edinburgh graduates - all of whom had been supported by Edinburgh Innovations Student Enterprise Team.

The University of Edinburgh is now top in Scotland and the Russell group for student entrepreneurship and 13th overall in the UK according to HESA data.

Join us for an afternoon of cake, drinks and networking!
