Do you have an idea for a business, social enterprise, charity, or freelancing proposition? Tell us about it below and you could win a share of £1,000 to help grow your idea.

This competition is for any and all current students and recent graduates (within the last two years) from the University of Edinburgh. If you have won a Business Ideas Competition in the past, you cannot win again with the same idea but you can enter and win with a different idea. 

We are looking for projects that will benefit from this level of support, and are at the 'idea' stage of development, although this doesn't necessarily disqualify businesses that are already formed and/or trading. Ideas will be judged based on being 'at idea stage', as well as overall desirability, viability, feasibility, and sustainability.

In order to accept the funds, you will need to agree that you will spend the money working on your business idea, and that you will continue working with Edinburgh Innovations to further develop the idea.
