The Venture Catalyst Challenge (VCC), run by Imperial Enterprise Lab and powered by Blenheim Chalcot, is the College's largest entrepreneurial competition for students and alumni and its grand final has gone digital.

The winner of each track was awarded £10,000 and is now competing to win the £20,000 Grand Prize, announced on 26 June. All finalists' pitches can be viewed on the Enterprise Lab website.
