Innovation Festival (InnovFest) is a bi-annual festival that celebrates innovation, entrepreneurship, and research-driven enterprise. It serves as a strategic platform to showcase the university’s most promising ideas, inventions, and startups, developed by students, researchers, and faculty. The festival brings together a vibrant mix of innovators, entrepreneurs, industry partners, policymakers, and investors through a diverse programme that includes exhibitions, keynote talks, panel discussions, business pitching, and networking sessions.

More than just an exhibition, InnovFest embodies UBD’s commitment to building a forward-looking innovation ecosystem. It encourages cross-sectoral collaboration, fosters a culture of creativity and problem-solving, and connects academic output with real-world impact. The festival also provides unique opportunities for students and emerging entrepreneurs to gain visibility, receive feedback from industry experts, and explore funding or incubation pathways to commercialise their ideas.
