The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business would like to welcome our newest faculty member, Sharlene He!
In September, the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business welcomed a new set of University of Waterloo PhD students to the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) classroom through the highly successful Entrepreneurial PhD Fellowship program.
The fellowships were awarded to support outstanding, business-minded Waterloo doctoral students who are interested in commercializing their research. The following recipients will complete the three-year part-time MBET program alongside their regular doctoral studies, tuition-free.
The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business is thrilled to announce the launch of our highly anticipated PhD in Entrepreneurship and Organization this fall of 2024. This innovative program is designed to cultivate the next generation of thought leaders and researchers in the dynamic field of entrepreneurship and organizational studies.
Celebrating the Conrad School's commitment to excellence in entrepreneurship education while honouring the contributions of its esteemed leadership team.
The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business at the University of Waterloo is pleased to announce some exciting leadership updates that promise to further enrich its vibrant community and innovative programs.
Each term, undergraduate students from the Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) program compete for financial awards during their opening weeks in the program.
Students compete in a pitch competition for two awards, the E-Launch and the Norman Esch Enterprise Co-op awards each worth $5,000.
As the winter 2024 term comes to a close, it’s time for a competition roundup to celebrate the successes of Conrad School students!
Graduate students in the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) full and part-time programs as well as undergraduate students in BET 300, BET 320, or Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) performed splendidly in both on- and off-campus competitions!
In total, we had 25 Conrad School students compete this term! Congratulations to all!
The University of Waterloo is awarding Entrepreneurial PhD Fellowships to support outstanding, business-minded Waterloo doctoral students interested in commercializing their research.
Up to ten successful fellowship applicants will be enrolled in the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) part-time program at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business. Fellowship recipients can complete the three-year part-time program alongside their regular doctoral studies, tuition-free. Normally, domestic tuition for the program would total almost $35,000.
“This exciting initiative keeps Waterloo at the forefront of entrepreneurship education and program innovation,” says Vivek Goel, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Waterloo. “As traditional academic career paths continue to evolve, these fellowships will support our talented Ph.D. students with creating research-based ventures that solve meaningful problems – bringing new technologies and solutions to market and driving economic growth.”
Last week, a group of Conrad School's MBET students embarked on an exciting trip arranged by our Outreach and International Programs Manager, Cristen Brown, to San Francisco and Silicon Valley!

Working as a communicator in a health care setting, Seun Adetunji could see the impact medical jargon was having on people with English language barriers and disabilities. During repeated interactions with doctors and medical staff, she could see that patients and caregivers were overwhelmed hearing medical language and instruction.
Seun decided to do something about it. She created MedInclude, an AI-based data processing platform that can help health-care providers transcribe patient notes into lay terminology in real time.
