Do you have a passion for problem-solving and innovation? Want to gain valuable experience while working with real businesses? Then look no further than Pitch It Fridays!

Pitch It Fridays is a 7-week virtual event series where students from across the region come together to tackle real-world business challenges. Each week, a new business will present a unique problem, and student teams will collaborate to brainstorm and develop creative solutions.

Here's what you can expect:

  • Collaborative Problem Solving: Work with students from different backgrounds and disciplines to develop innovative solutions.
  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with local businesses and entrepreneurs, and build your professional network.
  • Practical Experience: Gain valuable experience that you can add to your resume and impress future employers.
  • Prize Money: Each week, the winner will receive a $50 prize.
  • Support Local Businesses: Connect with key players in the Atlantic Canadian entrepreneurial ecosystem and help them overcome real challenges

Here's how it works:

  • Every Friday, from 1-2:30 p.m. ADT on Zoom.
  • A local business will present their challenge to the student participants.
  • Students will work in teams or individually to brainstorm and develop solutions.
  • Teams/individuals will have 30 seconds to pitch their solutions to the business. The business will then select the winning pitch and award the team a $50 prize.
    *In addition to a $50 prize CoWork Halifax is offering a year subscription to their services.

This week's business: CoWork Halifax, provides a working environment from shared workstations to private offices located in the Quinpool district.
