The Bartlett Invents! is a competition and showcase for innovative ideas in architecture, urban planning, and sustainability. Led by the UCL Centre for Sustainability and RealTech Innovation (CSRI), and powered by PGIM Real Estate, we aim to identify, nurture, and amplify ground-breaking projects from across The Bartlett, creating clear and supported pathways into UCL’s commercialisation ecosystem.
The goal of this showcase and competition is to supercharge The Bartlett’s entrepreneurial pipeline in RealTech, inclusive design, sustainability, and urban innovation - the fields shaping the future of our cities, economies, and everyday lives.
We're on a mission to uncover and accelerate bold ideas that push boundaries.
