just IMAGINE if... 2024 Launch

Published on November 1, 2023

Are you a budding entrepreneur with a potentially system-changing idea?

just IMAGINE if...  is an international social enterprise research grant, with a prize of university research and business support from the University of Reading and Henley Business School, worth over £100,000.

We can connect you to world-leading researchers and business leaders to develop your idea which will support one or more of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

Looking for new life-changing ideas

just IMAGINE if... was created by UK former Entrepreneur of the Year, founder of Ella's Kitchen and Chancellor of the University of Reading, Paul Lindley. The scheme has granted two awards to scale, innovate and execute world-changing ideas in 2019 and 2022.

We all have a responsibility to try and make the world a better place for our children to inherit. Just imagine if an idea we hear as part of this award goes on to shape the future of our planet. I believe this is a possibility.
