Event Description {{detailsExpanded ? '- Show Less' : '+ Show More'}}
We have teamed up with the Edinburgh Earth Initiative to bring you this competition focusing on your solutions to the climate crisis.
Do you have an idea for a startup (including a social enterprise or freelancing proposition) that could contribute to solving our greatest sustainability challenges? You could win £1,000 to help make it a reality.
Choose one of four categories for your idea:
- Sustainable Land and Seas
- Future of Energy
- Health in a Warming World.
- Other Climate/ Sustainable Solutions
Who can apply?
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 and the Edinburgh Earth Initiative to further develop the idea.
