Meet our supporters
We know we can’t build stronger communities, improve health or tackle climate change alone. That’s why we’ve partnered with a range of organisations to provide the skills and training, access to networks and routes to funding for early-stage start-ups.
Whether you are looking to partner with us individually, or as an organisation, you can get involved with Ingenuity at every stage of the programme.
