Are you ready to shape the future of aging and community care? Join us for the AgeTech Innovation Challenge!

Cornerstone is Velocity's two week sprint for students and researchers from any faculty who want to explore an idea they have or even just an area of interest with a supportive community. It is focused on introducing you to potential customers and stakeholders who live and work outside the university. It will help you build the confidence you'll need to have productive empathetic conversations that will create the foundation of your idea and give it real impact.

No pitch deck. No pressure. No technical skills required Join the hundreds of students and researchers all exploring their own ideas through coaching, networking, and the chance to win great cash prizes.

The CareNext Coalition is hosting their next CareNext Collective virtual forum.

Presented by Manulife, the September event features a conversation about the future of healthcare robotics with Dr. Brandon J. DeHart, manager of RoboHub at the University of Waterloo. Learn what modern robotics can do today, explore what healthcare professionals should expect and demand tomorrow, and discover how Waterloo RoboHub can be a partner in co-developing real solutions that make a difference.

The video stream will begin on Slido at 12:00 p.m. Feel free to submit any questions beforehand — we encourage your participation.
