We take a system-level approach to building and growing our campus entrepreneurial ecosystem. We focus on building the right supports for our campus community, ensuring we’re interconnected with the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem and promoting the belief that entrepreneurs can come from anywhere on the campus.
The Entrepreneurship Hub
The purpose of the eHub is to help shape an entrepreneurial mindset across the University of Ottawa campus. To do so, we promote a campus-wide entrepreneurship strategy, while recognizing the unique strengths of our individual collaborators.
Approach
Entrepreneurial Mindset
“While earning the Entrepreneurial Mindset Certificate, I gained valuable knowledge and skills that inspired me to become an entrepreneur.”
