“Our inaugural Dal Innovation Week provided the perfect opportunity to open our doors to the community to learn about Dalhousie’s innovators and entrepreneurs and the programs empowering them to turn their ambitions into reality,” says Dr. Alice Aiken, vice-president, research and innovation.

“It’s a full circle event where we showcase newly launched enterprises from the previous year for arriving new students,” Assistant vice president entrepreneurship and innovation Jeff Larsen says. It’s an ‘if they can see it, they can be it’ approach to inspiring the next generation of innovators.”
