About Innovation Sprint:

In partnership with Nova Scotia Community College, the Arthur L. Irving Entrepreneurship Centre has created the Provincial Innovation Sprint program, working with other post-secondary institutions to help students solve real problems for local businesses.

An innovation sprint is a short, focused 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 are awarded $1,000, second place receives $700 and third place receives $300 cash.
