Converge 2023: Apply Now to Springboard your Business Idea
Innovator, entrepreneur, creative, founder ….. Whatever you call yourself, Converge can turn your research, idea or innovation into a living, breathing business
Open to staff, students and recent graduates across all of Scotland’s universities – including the University of St Andrews – this is your chance to access intensive business training, generous equity-free cash prizes; investor connections and free, expert professional advice from Converge’s industry partners to springboard your idea into the world. And it won’t cost you a penny. Zip, zilch, nada, zero.
Previous winners include the University’s very own Professor Rebecca Goss – CEO and Co-Founder of X-Genix. X-Genix is revolutionising the way that medicines are made by transforming the process of halogenation. Fundamental to drug discovery, halogenation is currently expensive, time-consuming, low yielding and wasteful, creating numerous toxic by-products.
Anyone can apply so even if you’re a complete business novice, they want to hear from you. Interested? Visit their website to apply.
Alternatively, why not sign up for an online workshop or in-person 1-2-1 on campus with one of the Converge Team?
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday 29 March (12 noon).
