Come join us virtually on Wednesday April 7th and witness 10 finalist 4th-year Capstone teams from various engineering departments battle it out in the Norman Esch Pitch Competition for $60K in prize money to jumpstart their startup project. 

Of the 10 finalists selected, 5 of them, an unprecedented majority, are from MME (2 MTE, 3 ME). Each team could take home one of six $10,000 prizes - yes, MME could clean sweep the finals by winning five of the six awards!

Now available to all Waterloo Engineering departments, the Palihapitiya/Lau Venture Creation Fund provides two $50,000 awards to University-selected Capstone Design teams whose intention is to transform their Capstone Design project into a promising startup post-graduation. 

Attend the info session to learn more.

Come learn how GM Canada is transforming Canada’s auto sector through growth, technological advances and innovation. Four of GM’s leading engineers will be sharing insights at this GM Canada Meet-up for Waterloo Engineering students on the Capstone Design track.
