The IDEA START Venture and Innovation Community Launch Event is scheduled for November 27 from 4:30pm to 7pm at VW Social, University Centre. This event marks the beginning of a new Community of Practice aimed at supporting all University of Manitoba (UM) community members with their innovation and entrepreneurship interests.
The Community is a result of joint efforts of various partners within the UM Ecosystem including IDEA START, Partnerships Knowledge Mobilisation and Partnerships (PKMI) Office, Lab2Market Prairies Hub and the Faculty of Science Innovation Hub.
The inaugural community meetup will feature an expert talk on how to raise funds for an idea-stage startup, providing valuable insights for budding entrepreneurs. Additionally, there will be a fun “Founder Game” activity designed to practice rapid ideation, fostering creativity and collaboration among participants.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and network with mentors, investors, experts, and practitioners, gaining valuable connections and knowledge. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the community, become a member, and engage with like-minded individuals passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of a vibrant and supportive community dedicated to fostering innovation at UM and Manitoba!
