Queen's Summit

The Queens Start-up Summit is a University wide weekend long competition. Each year delegates are accepted from all over the province as designers, developers and general delegates. The aim is to create a start-up pitch ready for market within the weekend.

It is an annual initiative founded by the Queen’s Innovation Connector that supports the advancement of student entrepreneurship, providing an opportunity for students to collaborate, compete, and realize their potential.

This year OCAD University students were found in each winning team, claiming First prize of $5000.00 for ‘Spaces’. With different disciplines collaborating with their specific expertise, it is an important experience to diversify skills as well as an wonderful opportunity to have ideas funded.
