À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ

Since 1957, entrepreneurial researchers and students have been drawn to the highly productive innovation ecosystem of the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. Breaking from tradition, our founders established a university that integrated work-experience with academic and research excellence. This became the foundation for a unique culture of innovation. Today, innovators can access for-credit programs along with mentorship, funding and connections in a collaborative environment of more than 45 programs that includes our flagship incubator .

Entrepreneurial researchers and students are drawn to À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ because of our distinctive innovation ecosystem. We encourage entrepreneurs by opening pathways from research to commercialization through incubators, corporate partnerships and a unique intellectual property policy that lets creators own what they invent. Our co-op program allows students to move between jobs and the classroom every four months, integrating theory with real-world experience. We actively support student-run programs like Zero, the Student Venture Fund and Hack the North, the largest hackathon in Canada.

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ provides tailored support at every stage of the journey, whether for students committed to creating social change, early-stage inventors or creators of a commercial venture about to take the world by storm.
