What we offer
About us

The Science Innovation Hub fosters research innovation and entrepreneurship and brings together industry and external partners with change-makers in the Faculty of Science. We offer internal funding, competitions, workshops and events that bridge gaps in the science innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem and provide tailored strategies to connect our researchers and students with opportunities to realize the full potential of their ideas.
We are the first point of contact for our researchers and students to access the resources, mentorship and funding they need to pursue research commercialization, entrepreneurship and industrial partnerships. We provide support on what steps to take next, connecting our researchers and students with the established innovation and entrepreneurial community at the University of Manitoba and beyond.
