The Airwallex Going Global Grant: £10,000

What is Ideas Fest?

Ideas Fest is the UK’s festival of entrepreneurship, a one-of-a-kind gathering for founders, creators, and innovators from every industry.

With live talks, interactive sessions, music, and a buzzing festival atmosphere, it’s where ambitious people come together to learn, connect, and get inspired.

Ready to take your Big Idea beyond the UK?

Every great business starts with a big idea. We're proud to support the startup community and champion founders with the ambition to grow.

But taking that first step into a new market can be challenging. You should be spending less time worrying about finance, and more time planning your growth. The £10,000 Airwallex Going Global Grant is designed to help you overcome those first hurdles so you can focus on doing what you do best: Taking your Big Idea overseas.

To win, you'll need to inspire our judges with a creative pitch that shows the potential of your business and your vision for taking it to new markets.
