The Ignite programme is an opportunity to develop the right skills, mindset and network to make your business idea or innovation a reality. This immersive experience empowers individuals to transition from scientist to company founder, from startup founder to CEO, and from corporate employee to innovator.
Ignite has a solid track record and reputation developed over 20 years of enabling entrepreneurs, innovators and corporate intrapreneurs to build viable ventures. It has attracted delegates from over 50 countries to benefit from deep immersion in the Cambridge ecosystem and entrepreneurial education provided at Cambridge Judge Business School.
During one intensive week, you will have the chance to learn the latest thinking in Entrepreneurship, Business and Innovation from our academics, hear real-world insights from seasoned entrepreneurs, and receive expert advice from industry professionals. Dedicated coaches will guide you in applying these learnings to your ideas, help you to craft a compelling business plan and ready you for the commercial arena.
