Unlocking the Power of Start-Ups – how start-ups can transform careers and companies
10 September 2025 – 12.30pm BST. A joint webinar from the IoP and the IET Innovation Management Technical Network.
This webinar explores how start-ups can accelerate their progress, featuring an award-winning venture whose experience and potential speak volumes. We’ll examine why start-ups are an exciting career choice, how to enhance their growth trajectories, and how to shorten their path to commercialisation. We’ll also demonstrate how the value created within start-ups can be preserved and how the risks surrounding them can be significantly reduced.

New Blog Series
The IET Innovation Management TN are excited to share the first post in their new IET Innovation Management Technical Network blog series on "Making the Right Decision at the Right Time".

Here is the second blog in the series "From Concept to Development: Navigating the First Transition on Your Innovation Journey".
