Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) successfully launched the Innovation Launchpad @ CUE, a program to support CUE students in advancing their innovative ideas into businesses in October 2019. This program employs an objective-based mentoring process coupled with hands-on workshops to enable students to advance their ideas into reality. This program was launched using support from Alberta Innovates Institutional Support for Entrepreneurial Education program as well as collaborations with local innovation supporting organizations such as Business link AB, Startup Edmonton, Alberta Women Entrepreneurs, Canadian Intellectual Property Office and Concordia Alumni Association.
This showcase event is an appreciation of the hard work that CUE students have put in to advancing their ideas.
