The Women in Innovation Programme is an annual competition that supports and celebrates remarkable UK women entrepreneurs and senior business leaders. This year, 50 women out of hundreds of applicants have been awarded a £50,000 grant to scale their businesses. They will also receive individual business coaching plus networking, role modelling and training opportunities. Five out of the seven entrepreneurs were supported by the Innovate UK EDGE team at UCL. These five are: Ola Hekselman, co-founder of Solveteq and a battery scientist. Ola has spent the last ten years in academia working on next generation materials for Li-ion batteries.
