Entrepreneurial Pathways

At Innovation UBC, we believe entrepreneurship can follow many pathways.

Our goal is to support researchers to drive change beyond academia and transform their groundbreaking ideas into real-world impacts. Through tailored guidance, resources and practical opportunities, we help you explore how entrepreneurial thinking can amplify your research.

We do this by providing:

  • information sessions
  • bespoke workshops
  • innovation challenges
  • entrepreneurial pathways consulting
  • access to industry mentor network
  • community building

“Every entrepreneur is standing on the shoulders of people who have given them such great advice, and they are there because of that advice. Innovation UBC helped pave the path for that, in terms of opening up our minds to the types of questions that we need to ask.”

Tamer Mohamed, Co-founder and CEO, Aspect Biosystems (Venture Founder alumni, 2013)
