Conception X was initially launched in University College London Faculty of Engineering. We are now a not-for-profit institution that accepts students from other institutions and take no equity in startups created.

Over the past 2.5 years, over 200 venture scientists across 90+ teams have benefited from the programme, including working with clients like Deloitte and Unilever. We are building a strong community of academics, investors, industry leaders, and experts to support students.
