Cambridge Judge Business School Ignite Programme

Ignite is an intensive week-long entrepreneurship programme run by Cambridge Judge Business School for early-stage founders and core team members. The 2026 programme runs from 5 to 10 July and begins with a welcome and induction on Sunday 5 July, concluding with a college dinner on 10 July.

The programme focuses on developing commercially viable, technology-driven ideas (including AI, Quantum, biotechnology, MedTech and life-science research) through teaching, mentoring (group and individual), and investor-style pitching. Applicants should submit a full application by the stated closing date (see application deadline).

Shortlisted candidates are invited to a short online interview (Zoom or Microsoft Teams) and must reply to interview requests within seven days. Successful applicants will be asked to complete a delegate form, sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and process payment; all forms and fees must be returned/paid in full four weeks before the programme.
