Current graduate students

Join the Conrad School for this breakfast session as we celebrate Women in Entrepreneurship Day. Our early-morning fireside chat will include incredible women entrepreneurs working to improve health care for women. Hear what they're doing, learn about some of the challenges they face and what they see in store for the future.

Enjoy some coffee, breakfast and networking to start your day.

Join us to meet two current Entrepreneurial PhD Fellowship recipients and the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) program director!

Successful fellowship applicants will be enrolled in the MBET part-time program, where they complete the three-year part-time program alongside their regular doctoral studies, tuition-free.

Purpose-driven Waterloo PhD students who complete part-time MBET will be uniquely positioned for ground-breaking successes. Students will develop entrepreneurial mindsets, frameworks and business skills alongside the pursuit of commercializing their research.

This workshop, designed and delivered by Professor Larry Smith, is a great opportunity to get started, learn how to identify important problems and prepare for this fall term’s Problem Pitch Competition.

"What’s Your Problem?” is a workshop designed to demonstrate how to find, shape and understand important problems.

Learn how to use problem analysis to:

• Advance your career
• Deflect the threat from AI
• Gain a competitive edge in this term’s Problem Pitch Competition

A Conversation for Ambitious Builders

You have heard the narrative. Want to build something big? Go to Silicon Valley. We disagree, and we have brought in some people who will tell you exactly why. 

Join the Faculty of Engineering and the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, for an evening with entrepreneurial Waterloo alumni and Chris Albinson, Managing Partner of the True North Fund, for a real conversation about why the most exciting place to build right now is right here in Canada. No rehearsed answers. Just honest talk from founders, like panellist Michael Litt, who said, "Hell no, we won't go." 

Following the discussion, there will be time to network with alumni.

Come curious. Leave inspired by what's possible right here in Canada.
