University of Kent & Discovery Park 3rd Joint Innovation Showcase Event

5th March, 2026

Welcome to the 3rd Joint Innovation Showcase Event

We are delighted to be hosting this third joint Innovation Showcase event at Discovery Park in the Raleigh Suite. The day will include a look at progress and impact of the Kent UKRI Impact Acceleration Account (IAAs) funded projects and the opportunity for academics and other stakeholders to give feedback on the IAAs and how they are working, as well as opportunity for discussion with potential collaborators and developing new collaborations. There will also be a panel discussion involving funders along with academic and industry stakeholders and partners, on opportunities and challenges of research and the legal considerations of moving projects along the translational pipeline. Lunch will include a poster session where all participants can present and there will also be a networking session at the end of the event. We look forward to seeing you there.
