Join us for a showcase of early stage innovations from University of Bristol researchers who are exploring how their ideas could develop into real world products, services, and social enterprises.

This event features participants from the , a programme that supports postgraduate researchers to explore the commercial and societal potential of their research. Fellows receive funding, training, and dedicated support to help them understand markets, develop entrepreneurial skills, and test how their ideas could move beyond academia.

The projects you will hear about span a wide range of disciplines, including health, engineering, digital technologies, sustainability, and creative innovation. Many are at an early stage, offering a unique opportunity to see how research ideas begin to evolve into potential ventures.

This showcase is an opportunity to connect with researchers and University of Bristol innovation staff working at the interface between academia and enterprise.
