Gouache-style illustration of a confident woman giving a presentation in a business setting. She stands in front of a large screen displaying colorful charts and graphs—pie chart, bar graphs, and infographics—gesturing with open hands as she speaks to a seated audience of diverse professionals. She wears a teal blazer and skirt with a white blouse. The room is softly lit, with warm tones and a slight abstract texture, evoking professionalism, collaboration, and clear communication. The mood is energetic and focused, highlighting leadership and executive presence.

Imperial College London is launching WE Innovate National, the UK’s first university network dedicated to supporting women entrepreneurs. Expanding Imperial’s WE Innovate model across five universities, the six-month programme will support 150 women-led teams each year with masterclasses, coaching, expert 1:1 support, peer mentoring, and £30,000 prize funds at each institution. A rotating national Demo Day and an ongoing alumni WE Network are designed to tackle the Rose Review’s biggest barriers, especially access to networks and finance.
