The University of Manitoba is kicking off its Entrepreneurship and Innovative Thinking Month with a bang.
Students are invited to submit "big ideas that help mitigate climate change, bolster human health, advance Reconciliation, and so much more," the school says in a press release.
Among the giveaways: a chance to pitch your idea to a panel of judges in a live pitch competition, the launch of a new entrepreneurship gateway, and a two-day learning event for students to build entrepreneurial thinking skills.
