Registration has now closed for the Venture Builder Incubator 4.0 Showcase

It is that time of year again... join us for the fourth Venture Builder Incubator Showcase. Celebrate the latest in innovation and entrepreneurship at Central Hall in Edinburgh's Tollcross. Watch pitches from the inspirational start-ups many of whom you may have met at our Welcome Day.

Vote for your favourite - the winners receive cash prizes - and meet the teams afterwards over canapes and refreshments.

This year's programme has supported 26 Startups to explore and validate the commercial potential of data-driven research. The cohort includes 7 start-ups sponsored by Cancer Research Horizons who are using data to deliver better diagnosis and treatment options for cancer patients. For the first time we have also provided targeted support for robotics and autonomous systems projects.

About the Venture Builder Incubator

The Venture Builder Incubator is delivered by the Bayes Centre, the University of Edinburgh’s Innovation Hub for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, and supported by Edinburgh Innovations, the commercialisation service of the University. It is delivered on behalf of the University’s Data-Driven Innovation Hubs, in contribution to the Data-Driven Entrepreneurship programme.

Through a tailored programme of interactive online workshops and events researchers become founders who are encouraged to connect their data-driven ideas to the world and to explore investment opportunities. This is the fourth programme and it builds on the achievements of the previous cohorts which have seen considerable success.

The event is free to attend. Please share the invitation with colleagues and anyone in your network who might be interested in joining the event.

If you have any questions, please get in touch.
