Innovative education for the leaders of tomorrow, to solve the critical problems of today.

Bridging academia, government and industry

CMP is a unique educational charity that brings innovative education for the leaders of tomorrow, to solve the critical problems of today.

We exist to inspire and equip the next generation to galvanise around the common problems that affect us all, and change our world for the better. We do this by providing ‘Hacking 4’ (H4) university accredited modules that teach Lean Start-up methodology, and by accelerating an ecosystem of talent in what we call: Mission-Driven Entrepreneurship™.

Convening government, academia and industry is a powerful way to break down silos and leverage the strength of all three sectors. Our courses bring together the resources, knowledge and expertise of these different groups around specific problem sets, enabling a holistic and effective way to address these.

By disrupting traditional education models, diversifying entry to entrepreneurship, and lifting-the-lid on the national problems we face; CMP ensures that the leaders of tomorrow are equipped to tackle the complex challenges of today.

Innovating for a better tomorrow

By aligning national needs with the passion and ingenuity of university students, we strive to create a sustainable and impactful model that not only addresses immediate challenges, but also nurtures a generation committed to making a positive difference in the world. Through our courses, we demonstrate that entrepreneurship goes beyond profit; it can also be a mission-driven force oriented towards public value creation and the achievement of collective goals.

Driven by mission, guided by impact

Our mission is to build meaningful partnerships between industry, academia and government to drive innovation and solve critical challenges while creating a talent pool ready to solve their generational problems.

Collaborations that drive change

CMP's strength lies in our ecosystem. We collaborate with leading UK universities, government agencies, and industry giants, creating a synergy that amplifies impact across all three stakeholder groups. And our partners are integral to our success, providing expertise, resources, and real-world challenges for our students to solve.

Our H4 courses are fully integrated into university curricula at postgraduate and final year undergraduate levels, offering a repeatable and scalable programme to access diverse talent, get fresh perspectives and innovative solution ideas to current problems, and help to build the sector’s National Innovation Base.

“Focus on the problem. Because if the problem is wrong, the solution is never right.”

— Steve Blank, Founder of Lean Start-Up Methodology
