Unidays Student Accelerator Demo Day
Final Demo Day – Student Startup Accelerator
Join us for the Final Demo Day of the nationwide Student Startup Accelerator, a programme created by UNiDAYS, Student Venture and Canopy Community to back the UK’s next generation of entrepreneurs.
Over the past six weeks, student founders from across the country have been developing their ideas, validating with real customers, shaping early MVPs and learning what it takes to build an investment-ready startup. Now, the top teams are stepping onto the national stage to share what they have built.
At Demo Day, you’ll hear live demos from the finalists, discover how they have applied customer insight and validation to strengthen their ideas, and see how early-stage founders prepare for the journey from idea to investment. A panel of respected judges, investors and industry leaders – including celebrated entrepreneur Simon Squibb – will explore each project and offer reflections.
This event is for anyone passionate about innovation, entrepreneurship and backing new talent. Whether you are a founder, an investor, a university leader or simply curious about the next wave of student-led ideas, Demo Day is an inspiring chance to see the potential of early-stage founders up close.
Expect energy, ambition and original thinking from students determined to build something that matters. Come curious. Leave inspired.
