Five students selected for prestigious King’s E-Lab Programme
The aspiring entrepreneurs will join a select group, shaping the future of ethical, impact-driven ventures

This year, Â鶹ƵµÀ is delighted to announce that five students have been selected to take part in the King’s E‑Lab programme - a high-impact entrepreneurship programme that equips students with practical skills, mentorship, funding opportunities, and access to a vibrant entrepreneurial network. It's a major opportunity, helping to turn ambitious ideas into investable ventures, backed by institutional and alumni support, and it reflects Cambridge’s broader push toward building a forward-looking innovation culture.
Launched in 2021 and backed by major philanthropic support, E-Lab offers a selective, cross-disciplinary programme that empowers students to develop real-world entrepreneurial skills - from market research and pitching, to ethical design and holistic stakeholder mapping. With its flagship year-long residential, targeted social venture tracks, and hands-on workshops, E-Lab bridges academic excellence with startup know-how.
With limited places available and growing prestige, being accepted onto the E-Lab programme is both a mark of distinction and an exceptional opportunity to develop an idea or venture aimed at making tangible, ethical impact.
The five successful students are:

Hanniya said:
“I applied because, after completing the Murray Edwards She Starts and She Soars entrepreneurship accelerators and discovering how much I enjoyed learning from inspiring mentors and peers, I wanted to take the next step in my journey. I’ve heard excellent things about King’s E-Labs - its community, resources, and approach to fostering innovation - and I believe it’s the ideal environment to build on what I’ve started and continue developing my entrepreneurial skills.â€
