Conception X Event

Rob Miles

This is an innovation workshop designed to prepare Science and Engineering PhD students for the Conception X scheme.
Conceptionx.org is a programme designed to train PhD students in technology entrepreneurship and to support them in building ventures based on their original research. It was built in response to the increasing interest in entrepreneurship as a career choice, and the push from Government to support more innovations creating the jobs of the future.
The programme offers an innovation assembly line of resources (training, mentorship, coaching) that runs in tandem with the degree, and:
<UL>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">is designed to fit the intensive research schedules of PhD students,</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">runs over 9 months, from February to November,</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">is non-residential, and</LI>
<LI CLASS="MsoNormal">requires only circa 15 days of attendance over the entire cohort length.</LI>
</UL>
Over the past 18 months, over 50 student teams have benefited from the programme, including working with clients like HSBC and Unilever. In 2019, 5 teams raised an average of £750k each in funds. They are building a strong community of academics, investors, industry leaders, and mentors to support students.
