About this Event
WYBI: Pathway to Success Program Final Pitch Day & Awards Ceremony 2026
We are delighted to invite you to the Final Pitch Day & Awards Ceremony for the WYBI: Pathway to Success Programme, taking place on Friday 10 July 2026 at Middlesex University London.
This special evening will celebrate the journey, courage, creativity, and hard work of aspiring entrepreneurs who have taken part in the programme. Throughout their journey, participants have developed their business ideas, strengthened their entrepreneurial mindset, explored marketing, finance, legal setup, growth strategy, pitch development, and received guidance from experienced mentors, coaches, and industry professionals.
The Final Pitch Day is their moment to shine.
Guests will have the opportunity to watch selected finalists present their business ideas, hear powerful 60 second pitches from programme participants, enjoy a cultural dance performance, celebrate award winners, and connect with a vibrant network of entrepreneurs, educators, professionals, mentors, judges, community leaders, and supporters.
This is more than a pitch event. It is a celebration of ideas, ambition, learning, resilience, and the power of community in helping new entrepreneurs move from concept to confidence and from idea to enterprise.
Whether you are an entrepreneur, student, mentor, investor, educator, business leader, or supporter of community enterprise, this event offers an inspiring opportunity to witness emerging talent and support future founders.
