Make a change with the Youth Innovation Project
Problem
Canada is lagging behind its peers in innovation
Canada has 100,000 less entrepreneurs than 20 years ago, even though it's population grew by over 10 million in the same time period.
Mission
Youth helping youth
We support Canada's innovation ecosystem by empowering Canadian youth to learn about innovation, as well as providing essential resources for the general public regarding entrepreneurship and innovation.
Discussion
We organize events available to schools across Canada to introduce youth to the world of innovators and entrepreneurs, sparking conversations about innovation, entrepreneurship, and the future for Canada. These events include seminars, interactive sessions, and workshops designed to inspire curiosity and creativity by youth, for youth.
Interviews
We interview various entrepreneurs, innovators, and thought leaders, delving deep into their journeys, challenges, and success stories. These conversations offer invaluable lessons and practical advice for aspiring individuals in diverse fields. We provide in-depth summaries and lessons-learned on our blog, made available to everyone.
Political Activism
The Youth Innovation Project seeks to more effectively engage government resources with innovation. We forward policy proposals and speak with key Members of Parliament, Senators, and other elected officials in order to directly influence change. We provide information about available government services for innovation, especially those targeted for youth.
