Programs for students across all faculties!
The Innovation Hub provides budding entrepreneurs and student-founders the tools and resources they need to spark innovation and create new ventures. Located on the ground floor of the Nicol Building, the Hub is an open space for students to become inspired, make connections with like-minded peers, and advance their entrepreneurial ideas. Students from all faculties on campus are invited to join any of the Innovation Hub’s programs at a time that fits their schedules. In addition to developing their skills and business ideas, participants will receive access to a host of resources and connections within the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Ottawa.

For the Winter 2025 semester, intake sessions for incubator programs start the week of Monday January 6 and formal sessions for all programs will start in the week of Monday January 13. Join us at our Open House on Friday January 10 to find out more.
Our incubator programs support students at one of three levels. Learn about entrepreneurship through the Nest program as you prepare to join a formal program in the Hub. Hatch an idea in level 1 through the Hatch or Changemaker streams and prepare to start a new venture.
