At DeGroote, entrepreneurship is more than launching a company. It’s about solving problems, creating opportunities, building resilient organizations and leading change.
Through entrepreneurial thinking and a “learn by doing” approach to education, we use our community connections to help students and partners turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.
Organizations of every size need entrepreneurial thinkers. Whether launching a startup, transforming an established business or addressing community challenges, innovation requires creativity, resilience and action.
Our community explores how ideas become ventures, how leaders learn from failure and how innovation creates economic and social value.

Every venture, innovation and breakthrough begins with curiosity. DeGroote students have stories and insights about confidence, resilience and the mindset needed to take the first step.
It often starts with learning to be honest, coachable and willing to learn faster than your fear.

Turning an idea into reality requires experimentation, learning and perseverance. Discover how students and alumni are pursuing opportunities and bringing new ideas to life.
At DeGroote, inspiration can come from even the most unexpected spark.

Innovation thrives where people connect, collaborate and learn from one another. Explore stories of mentorship, community and the networks that help ideas succeed.
Built on community, entrepreneurship can be a powerful tool for driving meaningful social change.
The McClean Centre for Collaborative Discovery is a front door for our community, creating opportunities for students, employers, organizations and community leaders to connect, collaborate and learn from one another.
