Ideas with Impact –  Guidance notes

Ideas with Impact is looking to select the most inspiring, commercially viable innovations for a unique philanthropic funding programme that will accelerate early stage research projects, allowing them to reach their full potential, globally.

Working with the commercialisation team at the University of Manchester Innovation Factory, we will use the funding to launch your exciting ideas, overcoming the financial obstacles that you may have faced otherwise.

Along with key funding, successful/selected projects will have access to a major support system of industry connections, commercial advice, business-planning workshops, and the all-important network of philanthropists involved.

Do you have a truly fantastic project that could fit in to one of these categories?

  • Climate Emergency Solutions
  • An Interconnected World
  • Healthy Futures

Great! There are 3 opportunities to apply per year. See the table below for dates.  Good luck!
