Work with Cambridge PhD students and researchers

Published on 05 Jun 2023

Do you want to know if your research results or early-stage technology has commercial potential?

We invite you to submit a project proposal to EnterpriseTECH. EnterpriseTECH is a real-world learning experience with lecture series, workshops and project providing an intellectual and practical foundation in entrepreneurship. This learning-by-doing team-based programme runs twice a year.

If selected, a team will work on your project over 12-weeks, applying the learning of the lectures and workshops. They will research the market, commercial advantages and applications of your idea and put together a commercial feasibility report, a video infomercial and deliver a pitch. Please note, we usually expect our inventor teams to have some form of demonstrable results and be lead by a senior lab head/researcher or CxO of an early-stage venture. It’s free of charge for inventors.

Project proposal deadline: 17 July 2023. This will be Cohort 13, kicking off on 26 September 2023.
