Inspire Launch Grow is our annual celebration of enterprise at the University of Edinburgh.

These prestigious awards reflect the service Edinburgh Innovations provide to students and recent graduates throughout their entrepreneurial journey. This past year has been like no other with many startups being affected by the COVID19 pandemic. While we recognise the challenges that many went through, we also want to recognise the resilience, ambition and success of entrepreneurs from the University of Edinburgh.

The Inspire Launch Grow Awards are an opportunity to receive that recognition and during the event attendee will have the opportunity to share their business ideas with our enterprise community.

At Edinburgh Innovations, we can support you from the beginning, with or without an idea, we encourage that first innovative spark and help you sustain it. Our events, workshops, competitions and 1-2-1 meetings with a business adviser can help you startup and then develop further so you thrive. More than a competition, Inspire Launch Grow can be your gateway to this unique and dedicated service at the University of Edinburgh. 

We have a total prize fund of approx. £20,000 with a top prize of £5,000 for each of the three categories and £500 for runners-up.
