This year’s Formation Zone Business Challenge winners were announced at a Reward Evening where our contestants celebrated their hard work with friends, family, and all the partners who helped them build their business plans.

We awarded four category prizes and announced the overall winner of the competition. Our winners shared a prize fund of £6,400 of start-up seed funding from Santander Universities, as well as gaining a subsidised three-month Formation Zone package.

Our winners now get to choose which of our award-winning incubation spaces they will be based in, as our new Plymouth Science Park Formation Zone is available to them alongside our City Centre campus base.

We would like to say a big well done to all who took part and we are looking forward to welcoming our prize winners into Formation Zone!
