IADT Student Accelerator Programme Demo Day

The TU RISE IADT Elevate Programme was proud to support this year’s IADT Student Accelerator Programme Demo Day, where 16 innovative student teams unveiled the projects they have been developing over the past five weeks.
From film and animation to video games, creative marketplaces, and beyond, the event highlighted the incredible talent, creativity, and entrepreneurial drive of IADT students. Each team had the opportunity to present their work, share their vision, and gain feedback from peers, mentors, and industry guests.
Now in its third year, the IADT Student Accelerator continues to provide students with the tools, guidance, and mentorship they need to bring bold ideas to life. The programme encourages collaboration across disciplines, helping participants explore the intersection of creativity, technology, and enterprise.
The excitement continues with the Accelerator Finals, taking place at IADT on 24 July 2025 at 1pm, where the top projects will compete for recognition. We wish all of the budding entrepreneurs the very best of luck as they take their projects to the next stage.
