Young Innovators Awards

West Kent based 18-30s can apply for funding to help them start innovative businesses

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will invest up to £460,000 in young innovators with this competition.

The aim of this competition is to find a new group of young innovators that, with our help, can turn their great ideas into successful businesses.

We are looking for young people who would benefit most from the Young Innovators Awards, including the financial support and tailored package of expert advice, with access to the innovation tools and connections on offer. Financial support, tailored coaching, and mentoring will be provided directly to the successful applicants.
