Royal Academy of Engineering: Talent Engine
Pre-accelerator programme for early-stage founders in Northern England and Northern Ireland.
Regional Talent Engines is a six-month pre-accelerator programme for early-stage founders in Northern England and Northern Ireland to transform great ideas into new engineering startups.
The programme opens for applications in January 2023, with hybrid training scheduled to commence in Spring 2023 from Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool and Newcastle.
The programme is designed to provide you with the practical support you need to help refine your innovation and bring your vision to life. By the end of the programme, you will be ready to seek further support for your new startup or pitch for your first investment to bring your innovation to market.
Places on the programme will be awarded through a competitive application process, with the most promising entrepreneurs gaining a place. We also offer optional pre-interview support with an online mini pitch boot camp ahead of the formal interview process. This will involve two training sessions plus one-to-one coaching over a 2-3 week period to help candidates who are new to pitching prepare for the judging panel.
