Ideas Fest: Innovation, Connection and Four Seasons in a Day
Celebrating creativity and collaboration with Innovate UK and No Limits
Ideas Fest truly lived up to its reputation as the Glastonbury of entrepreneurship — a few incredible days filled with innovation, synergy, and, quite literally, four seasons in one day.
A huge thank you to Innovate UK, Luke Crook, and the No Limits team for inviting Reedah El-Saie to speak alongside fellow Inclusive Innovation grantees Omar Massoud and Michael Crinnion, sharing our startup journeys, tips on applying for funding, and how we’ve harnessed Innovate UK’s support to bring our ideas to life.
Brainspark Games joined founders, investors, and thought leaders for a series of insightful and inspiring sessions, including:
How to Pitch to VCs: Nail Your Narrative, Know Your North Star, Win Heads and Hearts
Making Business Child’s Play – blending education and entertainment
Lessons That Helped Us Raise Our First £500k
What We’ve Taught Each Other: A Candid Conversation Across Generations – exploring intergenerational collaboration between educators and young digital natives
Reaching New Heights: Turning Celeb Endorsements into Gold (Dan Murray)
Raising, Scaling, Staying Sane: A Founder’s Guide to the Long Haul
Exploring the Full Spectrum of ADHD
The festival culminated in the UK StartUp Awards, where although we didn’t take home the win in the Education & Training category, we were thrilled to celebrate so many incredible founders and startups who continue to grow and innovate despite the challenges.
It was inspiring to reconnect with friends, founders, investors, advisors, and mentors — a true celebration of collaboration, ideas, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Brainspark Games continues to push boundaries at the intersection of education, entertainment, and innovation — empowering children to find their brilliance through play.
People. Create. Innovate.
