The Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES) is an innovative global competition developed to raise awareness among early career researchers how ideas can be commercialised.

YES20 challenged 196 engineers and scientists, representing 28 UK universities, to come up with commercial solutions to tackle global problems through innovation-led opportunities. Join one of the 40 minute information events, hosted throughout July and August, to find out what is involved in #YES21 and how you can develop enterprise skills; think creatively to produce innovative solutions to major challenges; discover how to communicate research with impact; work in a team; share a prize fund of £10k; and visit the Royal Society.
