What is it like when groundbreaking work is in its early days? How can you build success at scale? The journey is ambiguous, hard, and money is scarce. Failures happen daily, but success means achieving something transformational.

Adrien Coté, executive director of the University of Waterloo’s flagship entrepreneurship centre Velocity, will share how it inspires and drives innovation in a free presentation entitled “Building Success from Scratch,” hosted by Innovation UWindsor on Friday, Jan. 24.

Citing examples of starting from an idea and quickly entering the market, Coté will discuss the centre’s focus on fostering personal development for entrepreneurial success and how universities, along with their students and researchers, can use entrepreneurship to tackle consequential challenges and win outsized opportunities.

The event will run 3 to 4 p.m. in Room 102, Anthony P. Toldo Health Education Centre. Registration is free but required; save your space here.
