TO ENTER, all you have to do is answer the following questions and return them by email to anadolna@stjohns.co.uk. The deadline for submitting your answers is noon, 21st March 2016.
Competition questions:

b) Why do you consider your product to be innovative?
c) What will you showcase at the event if you win a free exhibition table?
How does it work?
Five shortlisted companies will receive a FREE ENTRY PASS and FREE EXIBITION SPACE at the event. Among these five innovative businesses, the judges at SJIC will then choose one company with the most impressive idea, technology or solution that will go straight to the ‘Fast and Furious Pitch Off’ final and present it in front of a judge panel and 11 start-up founders selected by other tech clusters in the East of England region.
