This year’s Big Idea Challenge has once again blown us away, having uncovered a treasure trove of amazing ideas and the passionate people behind them! We received more than 200 entries from London Met students, graduates and staff this year and with many innovative Big Ideas we’ve added a brand new category – The Innovation Category!

Following the Big Idea Bootcamp day, we managed to narrow down the semi-finalists to 15 amazing finalists.
