Bright Ideas is Kingston University’s annual entrepreneurial competition, open to all students across the university. It is a major university initiative to encourage our students to develop key innovations and enterprise skills. It encourages students to be problem solvers and confident presenters, addressing problems that come from their academic and everyday experiences.
2023 marked the 18th year of the Bright Ideas competition. Workshops, Sprints, Heats and the Final Awards Ceremony took place online. The Pitching Final gave students the opportunity to pitch in person to a panel of judges. A diverse set of entries came from programme areas across the university with over 700 Students participating out of which 597 students were from the Engineering, Computing and the Environment faculty. Many students entered as part of their course, where the experience was integrated to equip participants with enterprise skills to benefit their future careers.
