Do you have a bold business idea that could change the world?
Ideas are everywhere. But the ones that take on real-world challenges—social justice, sustainability, good governance—demand more than ambition. That’s what the Future Business Leaders: Dragon’s Den Competition & Workshop is here for.
What Is It?
Hosted at Queen Mary University of London, this event blends competition, critique, and practical learning. It’s designed for students ready to stress-test their ideas, grow their entrepreneurial instincts, and engage with a community that values originality and social-impact driven ideas.
How It Works
Submit a business idea rooted in one (or more) of our core themes: Social Justice, Sustainability, or Good Governance. The top five entries will be invited to pitch live on campus to a panel of academics, industry experts, and fellow entrepreneurial spirits.
The winner earns the title of 2025 Dragon’s Den Competition Winner, a trophy, and—more importantly—a launchpad to take their idea further.
