£15K COMP FOR TECH ENTREPRENEURS


Young tech entrepreneurs compete to be mentored by technology heroes.


Budding UK technology entrepreneurs can realise their business ideas through a new Royal Academy of Engineering award aimed at 16 to 25 year olds, which offers a once-in- a-lifetime opportunity to be mentored by technology heroes.


The winner of the new Launchpad competition will receive the most valuable UK award for


young entrepreneurs in the technology sector – the JC Gammon Award – which is designed to help cultivate the next generation of entrepreneurs by encouraging young people to think commercially early on in their careers.


The winner will become a member of the Academy’s Enterprise Hub, an initiative that sees some of the UK’s leading technology entrepreneurs pledge their time to mentor the country’s most promising start-ups and SMEs. More than 100 volunteer mentors,


who are Fellows of the Academy, have pledged their time to the Hub including well-known names such as Dr Mike Lynch FREng, Co-Founder of Autonomy and Founder of Invoke, and Sir Robin Saxby FREng, former Founding Chief Executive and Chairman of ARM.


As well as mentoring and training, joining the Hub and utilising the networks of the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering will give the winner of Launchpad the opportunity to make a lifetime’s worth of high value business
