Awards Showcase 2025

You're invited! 

Join us for the Awards Showcase. 

Taking place on the 8th May 2025, we'll be treated to presentations from the winning businesses.

The Emerge Showcase aims to recognise and celebrate student entrepreneurship, provide financial support to accelerate start-up growth, encourage students to develop ideas and launch ventures, and cultivate a more enterprising, innovative, and challenge-led university community.

Meet last year's winners! 

Last year we were delighted to receive a high number of outstanding applications for our first Awards Showcase. Out of over 70 applications, the Emerge team selected 16 businesses to pitch their idea to a panel of judges.

Last year's winning ideas included a health fitness app, new fashion brand, sustainable food production and crafting recycled materials. 

"Getting this funding and mentorship is going to be game changing for us to develop our idea further. Emerge’s support has not only opened up an avenue for business, but also an avenue for us to explore who we want to be,"

Saffron Howdle, Bobbi Co-founder
