About Innovation Sprint:

Innovation Sprint is a four-hour event that brings a business and keen, creative students together to generate ideas and solutions to business problems.

During the Innovation Sprint, participants:

  • engage in time-sensitive bursts of intensive problem-solving and developing business solutions;
  • receive insightful resources and mentorship helping them address business challenges;
  • learn how to facilitate rapid and effective outputs to challenges they may face in their business. This is a unique entrepreneurial experience that can be translated into their own chosen fields;
  • collaborate with students from across Atlantic Canada from various faculties and disciplines.

Prizes:

At the end of the Sprint, businesses choose winning teams: first-place winners get $1,000, second place get $700, and third place get $300.
