Entrepreneurship Immersion Week (EIW) brings together storytellers and movement builders from across our ecosystem, to share their insights on the strategies and tactics that helped them transform their ideas to impact.
Organized by entrepreneurship@UBC and taking place on September 26-28, at UBC Robson Square, UBC Point Grey and online, Immersion Week is for UBC’s community of students, staff, faculty and alumni as well as their community of ventures, mentors, and BC’s innovation ecosystem at large. Last year EIW welcomed over 500 participants across 3 days and 25 sessions.
Taking place across three days, EIW 2023 will consist of fireside chats with keynote speakers, panels, workshops, and networking socials.
EIW’s theme this year is Climate and the Public Health Crisis. Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity, and the climate crisis threatens to widen the divide of existing health inequalities across communities and global regions. As we think about entrepreneurship for public good, EIW asks what are the opportunities in BC, a region whose climate and human health ecosystems are thriving, to lead at this intersection?
For the first time, EIW will be hosting a regional startup pitch event featuring 10 companies from across BC who have transformative solutions in climate, human health or social impact. Presenting companies will have the opportunity to pitch live and in person on September 27th at UBC Robson Square.
