Venture Prize

The Venture Prize is an annual competition organised by the Armourers & Brasiers' Company that awards funding to innovative ventures demonstrating strong scientific innovation and commercial potential. The competition operates as a two-stage process where applicants first submit an online application structured as a simple business plan exploring the quality of scientific innovation and commercial viability. Shortlisted candidates are then invited to present their projects to the Venture Prize Committee in May, with the winner announced at the Armourers & Brasiers Cambridge Forum in June. The prize recognizes and supports ventures that combine scientific excellence with business acumen and commercial promise.
