Already working on a start-up idea and ready to take it further? Ignite Innovation is here to help you move from early concept to real-world impact.

This programme is designed for aspiring changemakers and entrepreneurs who’ve already started shaping their idea and are ready for the next stage. Whether you’ve made progress through something like the Velocity Ideas Challenge, or begun developing your concept independently, Ignite Innovation offers the tools, mentorship, and resources to take it up a level.

Open to all current students and staff at the University of Auckland, Ignite Innovation is free to join and requires no prior experience with innovation or entrepreneurship. All you need is an idea you’re working on and the passion to take it further!
