Virgin media business is running a competition called Three New Things. What are they looking for? Well, three ideas that will change the way we live & work for good. You only have to come up with one of course, but three will win.

The idea is to help you get you're idea out there with £25,000 worth free business telecoms and plenty of support. Support includes mentoring and on-going innovation, business development, marketing and sales strategy support from the Virgin media business team.

Oh and the opportunity to discuss your idea with Richard Branson!

The Virgin Group has always been at the forefront of innovation, much in part due to the vision of their charismatic founder and visionary Richard Branson who is always on a mission to change the world for better.  This is a great opportunity for those who have a great idea but have not been able to get much traction. The backing of Branson would certainly help!

The UK has also been at the forefront of innovation, especially when it comes to hardware, think Dyson. I attend many events at universities across the UK where innovation digital technologies are showcased. Any help to allow these innovations come to life for the wider market is a good thing and I applaude Virgin Media Business's efforts.

So if you think you have the idea, don't hesitate, apply now! The winners will be announced at Virgin Media Business’ 2014 annual event on 12th March 2014.

The winners will be chosen by a panel of venture capitalists, digital experts and innovators. This includes, Dr Ling Ge, an international computing expert, Emily Memarzia from the Technology Strategy Board, Monty Munford, a renowned tech journalist, Ella Weston ‎Director of Stream at WPP & Virgin Media’s Executive Director, Engineering, Rob Evans.
