Engineers in Business Challenge with Ingenuity, University of Nottingham
Engineers in Business Fellowship (EIBF) is entering another exciting phase of its mission to support enterprise education in UK universities.
EIBF has teamed up with Ingenuity to encourage the development of innovative engineering solutions that tackle the key social and environmental issues the UK faces.
Targeted at engineering or computer science students from selected Ingenuity University Partners, the top three business plans from each institution will receive a share of £3,000 of grant funding per institution (see full list of applicable universities below).
The Engineers in Business Fellowship Challenge has been created to encourage participants to use engineering to:
- Create new products that help people in the UK to live more healthy and productive lives
- Use technology and software to enable more connected and prosperous communities
