Toyosi Olowe: Warwick is such a special place for innovation because it actually pushed me and inspired me to start my own business.

David Plumb: We’ve supported over 4,000 founders to start and grow businesses, and we’ve helped them raise over 200 million pounds in new investment.

Paula Deas: Today, innovation at the heart of this conference has really made me think and challenge some of my own beliefs.

William James: And it’s really allowed me to kind of push the bounds of what I thought was possible.

Nirmit Jobanputra: The Festival of Innovation is a great opportunity to interact with industry and showcase our project, and we’re going to take our motorcycle racing to one of the largest electric motorcycle racing competitions for students in the world.

Chris Wilkinson: What’s really great about Warwick is we start there, and from day one, you know that you’re coming into a place where innovation is at its heart.

Peter Ptashko: Really powerful opportunities for people to grow businesses, make change in society, and come together. Warwick is a focal point for that. That’s what makes Warwick’s ecosystem so special and unique.

Chris Wilkinson: And I really invite anyone who is looking to do something innovative to come and speak to anyone at the University of Warwick, because the door is always open to them.
