Innovators need to communicate clearly about their inventive, and often pioneering, work to potential investors, industry users and other key stakeholders such as the wider business community and media.

The Fresh Innovators forum helps 16 early career innovators develop expertise in presenting their ideas clearly to a general audience and to the media.

After a day of media and presentation training, they present to University, school and business audiences, as well as the general public and the media.
