This week sees the launch of the fifth Innovation Driven Enterprise Academy (IDEA) – a six-week extra-curricular summer camp offering talented early-stage students a chance to work across engineering and business disciplines to develop business ideas.

IDEA brings together students from the:

• School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering
• Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering
• School of Business and Economics

The programme aims to nurture a talent pipeline for fast-scaling, sustainable start-ups and enhance graduate employability, with students fostering connections between innovation and entrepreneurship, building their entrepreneurial skill set and developing tangible innovations that can be commercially successful.
