<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure if you know about Innovate UK’s ICURe programme? SETSquared (basically a research/enterprise pool in SW England) are running the programme for IUK (but open to all UK) including this for PGRs and Technicians.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosy, who runs the programme for SETsquared would be happy to answer questions, I’m sure (although I’m not sure which of these emails will work:

<p class="MsoNormal">“Starting in February 2024, Engage is a four-week part-time programme to help research students and technicians identify potential beneficiaries of their research, explore entrepreneurship and start their journey to commercialisation. Participants
receive expert training through two full-day online bootcamp sessions, which will introduce them to ideation, design thinking, and value proposition canvas, with further catch-up calls scheduled afterward to check in on progress. ICURe Engage is open to all
research students (including those pursuing research master’s degrees, 1st or 2nd year PhD students, and post-docs) as well as technicians from all disciplines who are interested in entrepreneurship as a career option.<o:p></o:p></p>
