UMI3 ENTREPRENEURSHIP FORUM IQuBit - UMI3's Digital/IT Accelerator Got a new digital/IT idea? Talk to us about it. We are shortly to open IQuBit (I-cube-it) our new accelerator aiming to inspire, invent and innovate a new generation of software, social networking and digital ventures. IQuBit will support ideas for information and communication technology based products and services created by researchers, students or recent alumni from the University. Ideas do not necessarily have to have any initial Intellectual Property to be considered for support, but should demonstrate clear links to the University. Ideas might include web-based, mobile apps, social networking, gaming, cloud-based, software etc. Typically these types of ideas do not require patents, research facilities, large immediate investment or Proof-of-Concept funding and can be built early on 'lean start' up principles. IQuBit will offer qualifying entrepreneurs and founders: > Prestige on-campus location in our Innovation Centre. > Well-equipped communal start-up facilities. > A vastly experienced Advisory Panel led by Imran Hakim, UMIP Entrepreneur-in-Residence, other seasoned funders and successful tech entrepreneurs. > Commercial mentoring external expertise to validate early-stage technology and help shape ideas. > Co-operation with other like-minded businesses to promote collaborative knowledge exchange. So if you have an idea, or perhaps are already underway but would like to be based in a supportive environment, or just curious to find out more then please contact us for an informal and confidential discussion please contact: Ellie Sagar ellie.sagar@umi3.com 0161 606 7265 3
