VocTech Ignite

VocTech Ignite helps projects whose ideas have real potential to create a difference, but are not yet ready for full funding. By invitation only.

Without early and expert support from Ufi, many promising ideas would struggle to progress. Through VocTech Ignite, we help early-stage innovators develop their thinking, build momentum, and reach a point where they can attract further support.

Key Information

By invitation only to projects who have previously submitted an unsuccessful application to a Ufi grant funding round.

Purpose of the fund:
VocTech Ignite aims to help projects whose ideas have real potential to create a difference but are not yet ready for full funding. Support is provided through individual expert advice and mentoring.

VocTech Ignite provides five days of expert input plus a small cash fund to cover expenses.

Case study: I am Back

An unsuccessful application to VocTech Activate wasn’t the end for I am Back. Targeted support through VocTech Ignite helped the team test their approach and develop their idea into a viable pilot.
