The Venture Creation Weekend, managed and delivered by Cambridge Judge Business School’s Entrepreneurship Centre, is a hands-on experience where aspiring entrepreneurs can find out if their start-up ideas are viable. This three-day, intensive programme brings together tech entrepreneurs and innovators who want to address the challenges and opportunities of connectivity in tomorrow’s world, today!

“Smartbell was conceived at the IoT 54 Venture Creation Weekend in November 2015. From our initial idea of ‘smart farms for a smart world’ and a small prototype, we won a place on Accelerate Cambridge, gained mentoring support, made key connections, improved our product and have been featured on CambridgeTV, the Economist and the BBC . The impact of those 54 hours has been amazing!” Jose Chitty, co-founder and COO of Smartbell

Participating teams will demonstrate their prototypes and gain valuable feedback from industry experts including Peter Cowley, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor, Cambridge Angels; Shaun Grady, VP Business Development Operations, AstraZeneca; Martin Harriman, Entrepreneur, Investor and Advisor, ex board member at O2 and Telefonica; and Ahsan Zaman, Executive Director, World Media Online M2M Magazine, Director of International IoT Council.
