Are you interested in turning a health innovation into a startup? The Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre invites you to apply to the Build2Scale Health Summer Program.

Buil2Scale is for individuals or teams interested in health innovation with a capacity for creativity, a tolerance for risk, and an interest in entrepreneurship or social innovation. Build2Scale helps you to grow your entrepreneurial mindset and skillset while joining a network of diverse, creative, and ambitious peers. If you or your team are looking to create distinctive value or respond to an unmet need in the health or patient care sectors, this program is for you!

Receive training from world-class entrepreneurs and business strategists, mentorship, space to work on your venture, a $10,000 stipend (if working full-time in-person), up to $4,000 seed funding, and the opportunity to compete for larger seed funding prizes in the final pitch competition!

You can participate full-time in person and receive the personal stipend (maximum 3 stipends available per team) or participate part-time virtually with no stipend.

In our program last year, we had a team of Computing students partner with Dr. Fabio Ynoe de Moraes, Queen’s Assistant Professor in Oncology and Full Time Attending Staff Medical at KGH and Hotel Dieu. See a quote about his experience below:

“The Dunin-Deshpande Queen's Innovation Centre provides a unique and unparalleled educational experience for students and faculty, offering not only world-class knowledge but also essential skills in entrepreneurship and innovation. This creates an environment where knowledge is transformed into practical, adaptable solutions that make a positive impact on society.”
