In an exciting move to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, the Entrepreneurship Centre is proud to announce a trailblazing partnership with Yope.
This collaboration introduces a transformative award of $100,000 aimed at supporting innovators from the University of Oxford. The exclusive prize fund, made possible through the generous contribution from the Yope Foundation (Yope), a San Francisco-based non-profit organisation, will be a game-changer for founders at the University of Oxford, and is set to further catalyse innovation within the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This year’s $100,000 prize will be awarded to companies making an impact in one of four areas: artificial intelligence; healthcare; climate, tech and energy; or sustainable consumption. Applicants to the Entrepreneurship Centre’s Oxford Venture Builder and Oxford Seed Fund programmes, as well as participants in programmes from Oxford University Innovation and EnSpire Oxford, will be eligible to be considered for the prize, which is open to current Oxford students and alumni who have graduated within the last two years. Finalists will deliver a pitch to an expert panel and present at Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Forum, the Centre’s flagship annual conference.
