Do you have a great business idea? Join us on Tuesday 6th February at 12 o'clock for a 1-hour information session about Converge with Dr Lissa Herron, Converges' Enterprise Manager.

Converge work with Scottish universities to help staff, students and recent graduates with innovative business ideas achieve success, impact and growth.

They specialise in supporting academic entrepreneurs to create successful spin-out and start-up companies, by providing business training, access to resources and funding, connectivity to their network, and validation of business ideas.

Converge run the following 4 Challenges each year:

• KickStart Challenge: The first step for early-stage ideas - test the robustness of your idea, equip yourself for entrepreneurship and prepare for the more advanced Challenges.
• Create Change Challenge: For social shakers and creative thinkers looking to change the world for the better.
• NetZero Challenge: For projects that can deliver maximum impact for Scotland's net zero goal.
• Converge Challenge: For high-calibre, innovative projects with serious growth potential.
