Enterprise Co-op Spring 2024 Product Video Showcase Winners
As we wrap up the Spring 2024 term, we’re thrilled to celebrate the achievements of our Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) students in the recent Product Video Showcase Competition. This competition was designed to spotlight the incredible work done by our students during their work term, and the results were nothing short of spectacular.
The challenge was clear: create a compelling 90-second video that showcases a product or service developed during the work term. Unlike startup pitches, the focus was on illustrating the product’s features and how it can be used by potential customers. The goal was to produce a video that could serve as an ongoing piece of marketing content for social media campaigns and other promotional efforts.

Connecting Paths: Embracing Community in my MBET Experience
Hey there! I’m Munib Nasir, and I’ve always been passionate about helping and inspiring others. Before diving into the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) program at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, my journey has been quite eclectic.

Navigating Entrepreneurship: My MBET Journey at the Conrad School
The MBET program has been impactful to me for several reasons. It is refreshing to hear the professors give feedback with such candor, especially in a world where people are more inclined to tell you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear. This honesty has been crucial in helping me identify and address weaknesses in my plans. Beyond the academic and professional growth, the MBET program has also been a journey of personal development, as it has taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of continuous learning.
Cultivating collaboration: the key to unlocking the entrepreneurial ecosystem
Beginning a journey that commenced in the realms of healthcare research and academia, I found myself drawn to the dynamic world of entrepreneurship - a path that would lead me to new challenges, opportunities, and ultimately, to the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship, and Technology (MBET) program. My name is Kailimi Li, and I invite you to join me as I recount my transformational experiences and the pivotal role of collaboration in navigating the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
