Requirements to check
Who can apply:
Key requirements:
- The web registration panel says 11:59am, but its Key dates section says 23:59. The programme PDF gives 9 October without an hour. Confirm the cutoff with the delivery team rather than assuming the later time.
- Midlands Innovation delivers the programme. The guidance lists a welcome call on 27 October, two online bootcamp days from 9am to 5pm, three weekly mentor sessions and a reflection video by 1 December 2026. Participants are expected to attend the scheduled sessions.
- This introductory pathway does not require a finished business idea or a commitment to form a spin-out. References to funding on the wider ICURe programme page do not establish a cash award for Engage.
Engineering, physical sciences or mathematical sciences researchers, postdoctoral research associates, PhD students and technicians working on healthcare technology projects.
