The University of Bristol’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has been creating change-makers for 10 years! Our 2026 Showcase and Runway Awards is your chance to celebrate with us and look forward to the future as we make the move to our new Temple Quarter Campus. Meet the brilliant minds of our 2026 graduating class and connect with entrepreneurs, businesses and innovators who are shaping the future.
Hear about our graduating students’ projects at the Showcase, tackling everything from fresh water scarcity to electric vehicle adoption and elite athlete recovery; ideas that will define the next decade.
Take your seat for the Runway Awards and see the Centre’s entrepreneurs pitch live for a share of £75,000 in funding.
With 2026 a milestone year for the Centre, this is the perfect moment to be part of the next chapter in Bristol’s innovation success story.
