What is a peace incubator?
Playing a vital role in the University of Waterloo’s innovation ecosystem, the Grebel Peace Incubator advances expansive and innovative understandings and practices of peace locally and globally.
We link new ventures to social innovation tools that help them unpack complex human problems.
Our expertise in thinking and working politically helps new ventures engage governments and transform systems.
The home of PeaceTech in Waterloo, we support new ventures using tech to create a more peaceful and just world.
New ventures in our incubator thrive within a culture of inclusion, collaboration, and community-mindedness.
