 Have you got what it takes? 

 Future pro.manchester is once again giving its members and Greater Manchester students the chance to pit their wits against the city's most innovative thinkers and take part in the Professional Innovator Challenge 2012

sponsored by


The challenge offers a great opportunity for members and partner organisations to show their rising stars have got what it takes, with the ability to innovate and seize on opportunities.

This is their chance to demonstrate their business acumen and respond to a series of short challenges to get them thinking. 

The Professional Innovator Challenge comprises two principal elements:

The Challenge Series - A series of events themed around the subject of innovation in professional services

The Challenge Competition - Our search for star innovators in the professional and student community in the city.                                                            

Taking part:

Applicants will first be asked to fill in an entry questionnaire so that our expert panel of judges made up of last year's winner, senior figures from the professional services industry and successful entrepreneurs, can see who's got what it takes to go through to the next round.

Successful applicants will then be asked to respond to a short series of challenges based on the six key attributes that define a true entrepreneur formulated by Innospace at MMU especially for this challenge.

The Final Stage

Upon successful completion of the challenges our shortlisted finalists will be invited to face our panel of judges once more in a gruelling interview to test their ability to think on their feet.

The Winner

After the judges' deliberation the winner and the runner-up finalists will be announced at a celebratory Awards evening.
