Join the Masood Entrepreneurship Centre at this online event as the winners of this year’s Eli and Britt Harari Graphene Enterprise Award are announced, and two teams will share the £70,000 prize fund.
Dr. Eli Harari, will join the event and share with us an insight into his inspiring journey as an entrepreneur. Founder of SanDisk, one of the world’s leading non-volatile memory companies, Eli is a recognised pioneer in flash memory. Eli’s vision for SanDisk was to create a revolutionary flash memory technology that would enable low-cost, solid-state storage to replace chemical film or rotating magnetic disk drives. Flash has since become a universal component enabling content on-the-go, anytime, anywhere, in mobile phones, cameras, and other electronic devices.
The Eli and Britt Harari Graphene Enterprise Award, in association with Nobel Laureate Sir Andre Geim, is awarded each year to help the implementation of commercially-viable business proposals from students, post-doctoral researchers and recent graduates of The University of Manchester based on developing the commercial prospects of graphene and related 2D materials.
