The Royal Academy of Engineering’s Leaders in Innovation Fellowships (LIF) and Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation (APEI) programmes support talented entrepreneurs from around the globe to turn their engineering innovations into impactful, sustainable businesses. Advance 2025 is a bespoke programme of relationship-building and business growth activities for engineering and tech entrepreneurs who are ready to scale internationally.
On Monday 30 June 2025, we are celebrating the Advance 2025 Pitch Day with our cohort of 20 innovators; the culmination of seven months of intensive training. By visiting the UK, innovators will have the chance to pitch, network, and build meaningful relationships with key organisations here in the UK. The cohort will be pitching to different audiences, and receiving feedback from two panels of judges: investors and media professionals.
If you are an investor interested in purpose-driven international startups, then please get in touch to seek an invitation.
