Overview

The Future Leaders programme supports young entrepreneurs from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds to build the skills and network they need to grow successful businesses.

For their 2024 cohort, they were looking for aspiring business owners:

  • with a digital product or service offering
  • from an ethnically diverse or lower socioeconomic background, or a person with a disability
  • between the ages of 21-30

This year, they are specifically interested in supporting businesses that are improving public services with a focus on accessibility, digital inclusion or sustainability.
