Pitch & Protect 2026: Applications Now Open
Pitch & Protect returns for 2026, with Stevens Hewlett & Perkins, offering a valuable opportunity for early-stage UK innovators to strengthen and protect their intellectual property.
Designed for ambitious startups and founders developing new and potentially patentable technologies, the programme supports businesses looking to better understand, protect and commercialise their ideas at a critical stage of growth.
One standout applicant will receive £10,000 worth of intellectual property support, including patent and trademark services alongside strategic guidance from experienced IP specialists.
Following a strong inaugural programme in 2025, which saw cleantech startup Regeno selected as the winner, Pitch & Protect continues to spotlight high-potential businesses from across the UK.
If you’re building an innovative product or technology and want to ensure your intellectual property is properly protected, this is a valuable opportunity to access expert support and accelerate your growth.
Applications close 24 July 2026.
