The BEYOND Emerging Innovators programme celebrates early-career talent from across the UK’s creative research community, spotlighting individuals forging new paths where creativity, research and innovation meet.

Open to creatives aged 18–29, the pilot programme recognised originality, ambition and the potential for lasting impact. The individuals featured on this page made up the 2025 cohort of BEYOND Emerging Innovators.

We’re now working on expanding the programme for 2026, building on the ideas, energy and talent showcased this year.
