The University of Ottawa is pleased to be a partner in Experience Ventures, powered by the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking at the University of Calgary and funded in part by the Government of Canada’s Innovative Work-Integrated Learning Initiative (I-WIL).

Experience Ventures enables students to make an impact alongside real-world innovators through entrepreneurial thinking placements.
We believe an entrepreneurial mindset isn’t limited to a personality type, discipline, or to business owners. It is an accessible set of skills everyone can leverage to make an impact, big or small, in any career. The hallmarks of an entrepreneurial mindset will be critical factors in ensuring Canada’s success today and tomorrow.
