Change Makers 2026 Grand Finale

You are invited to our UEA Change Makers 2024 Grand Finale taking place at The Enterprise Centre on Thursday 19th March 2026, 5:30 - 8:00 PM!

UEA Change Makers is a programme launched in 2022 with the aim to stimulate business ideas that help change people’s lives, the environment, and communities for the better.

We challenged UEA students and recent graduates to submit a 60-second pitch of their business idea. The top 10 ideas were then enrolled in an 11-week accelerator programme to grow and test their ideas.

From fully biodegradable pregnancy tests to board games to help with mental health - come find out more.

All finalists will do a ‘pitch-off’ to a panel of experts where one will become the winning Change Maker of 2026. They will be awarded an additional £2,000 to launch their business. And, as attendees, YOU will get to vote for the People’s Champion prize of £500! You will also get to interact with the finalists on the night in a networking session after the ‘pitch-off’.

Light refreshments and canapes will be provided for your enjoyment.

We look forward to seeing you there!
