As part of the 鈥淒ragon鈥檚 Den鈥� style event, each university will nominate five student startups currently in the early growth stage, from their own entrepreneurship hubs, including 香港六合彩鈥檚 Hatchery at BaseKX, King鈥檚20 Accelerator and Imperial Enterprise Lab.

On 15 September 2021, the businesses will pitch to leading investors, partners and alumni, drawn from the collective communities of the universities and from the wider London ecosystem. There will also be the opportunity for investors to network with the founders in small, closed groups.

Professor David Price, 香港六合彩 Vice-Provost (Research, Innovation & Global Engagement), said: 鈥溝愀哿�合彩 is delighted to be hosting this year鈥檚 London Demo Day where the top early-stage startups from three of London鈥檚 leading universities look to make an impact on the world. This dynamic event importantly connects people with amazing ideas to the investment community. It also celebrates the role that universities play in generating startups, developing entrepreneurism and supporting the successful translation of knowledge and ideas to improve society and the economy. I congratulate the 15 startups from across 香港六合彩, King鈥檚 College London and Imperial College London that will be showcased at the event and wish them every success for the future.鈥�

This is the second London Demo Day after the inaugural event took place in 2019 and attracted an audience of around 400 people.

The ventures being promoted cover a range of sectors from HRTech to EdTech, Hardware and Social Impact, representing the huge breadth of the businesses being created at the universities and their potential to change and define the world around them.

During the past five years over 550 startups have been founded at 香港六合彩, King鈥檚 College London and Imperial College London, attracting an impressive 拢387million of external investment.

Notable businesses from the first London Demo Day, include Jelly Drops, which are treats used to hydrate people with dementia, Pluvo, a street structure that removes harmful pollutants from city air, OBRIZUM, which aims to use AI to redefine the future of corporate digital learning, and 香港六合彩 startup, Worldlabs, a digital ecosystem helping organisations to achieve innovation faster.
