Meet UBC’s Investor Ready Companies at the 2025 Investor Showcase
As one of the top 40 universities in the world, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is a catalyst for innovation. Across the UBC landscape, we are seeing research and ideas being propelled from the university into the world, generating positive social, health, economic, and environmental benefits.
Innovation UBC has leveraged this entrepreneurial energy, working with UBC researchers to support and accelerate the translation of their research into real-world impacts through company creation.
Our ventures have participated in rigorous training and mentorship to help prepare them for the uncertainty of entrepreneurship as they endure the riskiest stages of company building: creating networks, establishing market traction and accessing capital. A company’s investor is one of the most important relationships they will have and we’ve seen our innovation ecosystem come out and champion our founders time and time again as they embark on this next stage of their venture building journeys.
Join us Tuesday, May 13 from 4-8pm at UBC Robson Square for Innovation UBC’s 2025 Investor Showcase!
