Over the course of the evening, 10 entrepreneurs presented their ventures, competing for three £1,000 awards to support the development of their start-ups. The ceremony also celebrated the achievements of all 2025 cohort participants, who received certificates recognising their successful completion of the Lecture Series.

The UCL School of Management has recently partnered with the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA) and UCL’s Institute of Education (IOE) to bring free, digital entrepreneurship education to children and teenagers across the UK and beyond.
