Open to all Royal Holloway students and staff

Do you want to unlock the potential of an entrepreneurial idea? Do you have an idea for a sustainable, scalable commercial or social enterprise that needs an injection of cash to show that it could work? A competition is now open to all Royal Holloway students and staff. Up to ten grants of £2,000 are available for staff and student teams who want to show their idea to be worthy of further investment.

Last year 40% of applications were successful.

Teams must include at least one RHUL staff member and one undergraduate or postgraduate student.
