Global Impact Creator

An innovative initiative designed to help students, faculty and recent graduates from Waterloo explore global entrepreneurship opportunities. The program focuses on exploring unmet needs in the critical areas of human, planetary, and animal health and developing innovative solutions that have the potential to make global impact.

Beginning in September 2024 and running until March 2025, this pilot program will leverage the The Accelerator Centre's (AC) structured entrepreneurship program methodology to guide 5-7 participants in exploring and addressing unmet needs that impact communities in rural Canadian or global geographies. With the support of AC programming, Waterloo researchers and resources, and one-to-one mentorships, participants will develop and pilot potential solutions, gaining valuable insights and practical experience in global entrepreneurship.
