Techcelerate Showcase
‘Techcelerate: Imperial’s Flagship Postdoc Entrepreneurship Programme’
It is our pleasure to invite you to the first Imperial Techcelerate Showcase.
The Techcelerate Showcase is a private viewing of our inaugural Techcelerate cohort ventures. This invite-only day event is an opportunity for our partners, investors, and contributors, to celebrate the successful end of our 2018 pilot programme. Attendees will get a first look at some of Imperial’s brightest talent and cutting-edge research and technologies - from energy storage, drug discovery and water purification; meet the founders and network some of our partners and investors.
Friday 23rd March 2018
Imperial White City Incubator, 80 Wood Lane, Ground Floor iHUB
Presentations begin at 12pm. Drinks & Canapés will be served at 2pm
The Techcelerate Showcase is an exciting opportunity for this year’s cohort to present their ‘Techcelerate learning journey’. Over the past three months, the teams have been hard at work, meeting and interviewing 100+ prospective customers, competitors, regulators, suppliers and partners. This invaluable feedback and insight will help inform their critical next steps towards commercialising their venture.

Imperial Techcelerate Programme
Imperial Techcelerate Programme
A new programme for postdoc researchers who want to fast-track the commercial development of new ideas and build their entrepreneurial skill-set.
Developed using industry best practice, the programme has been designed to meet the needs of Imperial’s postdoctoral research community through a combination of hands-on experiential learning opportunities combined with regular access to business experts and Imperial’s vast entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Imperial Techcelerate takes an evidence-based approach to entrepreneurship, where participants formulate their customer value propositions and business model hypotheses first and then test these by getting out and speaking with potential customers, partners, suppliers and competitors over the course of the programme.
This programme enables participants to bridge the gap between research idea and the real world and, crucially, to understand the commercial potential for a new idea.
