Emma Entrepreneurs selected for prestigious E-Lab programmes
Emma Enterprise encourages students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and seek new opportunities. Beyond Emma, several members have recently been recognised for their entrepreneurial talent, going on to secure places on two highly competitive innovation programmes hosted by the E-Lab at King’s College Cambridge.
Ben Blaker (2020), founder of ADHDX UK, and a previous participant in our Emma Enterprise Lab & Competition, has been selected for the 2026 Spark 2.0 cohort. Designed to support promising early-stage ventures, the programme builds on last year's successful inaugural cohort, which included Emma graduates Dylan Cuskelly (2022) and Lukas Pin (2022), both of whom led past winning teams in Emma Enterprise.
Through ADHDX UK, Ben is addressing lengthy neurodiversity diagnosis waiting times with AI-powered screening and streamlined assessments, helping children and families access support more quickly.
Meanwhile, undergraduates Kavya Agilan (2025), Seth Thompson (2023) and Zhuoyun Yang (2025) have been selected for the 2026 E-Lab Residential, a year-long extracurricular entrepreneurship programme that helps students develop innovative ideas and entrepreneurial skills. Emmanuel has supported their participation with free accommodation during an initial week-long residential.
Hosted by the E-Lab at King's College these programmes provide participants with access to mentoring, networks and practical support as they develop ventures with real-world impact.
