Ignite the next generation of innovators

Are you passionate about empowering the future?

The Northern Triangle Mentor Programme is a new initiative to support commercialisation opportunities and early-stage spinouts from the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester.

We've curated a network of globally connected mentors to support our founders and innovators to help bring an idea to entrepreneurial success.

Mentors play an essential role in supporting our founders and innovators. 

Join our groundbreaking Northern Triangle Mentor Network, a dynamic initiative designed to propel commercialisation opportunities and empower early-stage spinouts, to connect experienced founders, specialists, and experts with aspiring entrepreneurs and innovators across the Universities of Sheffield, Leeds, and Manchester.

Here's how you can make a difference:

• Share your expertise: Guide and inspire the next generation of innovators with your unique insights and experiences.
• Shape their success: Provide critical advice and guidance, helping them refine their business ideas and unlock their full potential.
• Be part of a global network: Connect with a vibrant community of like-minded individuals passionate about tackling societal challenges.

This is your chance to leave a lasting impact. You'll be instrumental in helping academics commercialise their research, turning big ideas into solutions for a better tomorrow.
