A series of 12 business workshops across the UK, aimed at 18 to 30 year olds looking to elevate the potential of their ideas for business.
The challenge
Young Innovators is a new partnership between Innovate UK and the Prince’s Trust. The programme is aimed at 18 to 30 year olds and offers funding, expert advice and connections to a network of people and organisations working in innovation.
The client came to us to help them organise and run 12 regional business workshops for startups and aspiring entrepreneurs. Each event needed to engage around 20 young people and everyone who registered to take part would be invited to apply for an Innovate UK award.

The outcome
We worked closely with the client to source and confirm the most appropriate event facilitators and helped to develop an event programme and content to fulfil all of the event objectives.
The content covered during the workshops included expert advice on selling your idea, practical innovation tools that help with business development and inspirational talks from innovative guest speakers.
We sourced and coordinated all the speakers for the workshops. We managed all the travel arrangements for both speakers and delegates and produced detailed joining instructions for attendees ahead of each event. We also managed full event logistics pre-event and during the live workshops.
We successfully delivered 12 business workshops across the UK – from Belfast to Plymouth to Newcastle.
“The whole course was very focused and informative. Will be recommending it to others starting out.” “The session made me believe in my idea. I can’t wait to hit the ground running.” “I was impressed by how engaging it was. I travelled a long way in the heavy snow and it was certainly worth it.” “This is exactly the information I needed to push my business in the right direction.”
