Student Founders Summer Program - Info Session
Are you an Edmonton-area postsecondary student? It's time to bring your business ideas to life.
During the Summer of 2026 Edmonton Unlimited is excited to announce that they will be running two streams of the Student Founders program.
- Student Founders: Launch is designed for very early stage innovators that have an idea they would like to pursue, but have not undertaken significant work to progress the project.
- Student Founders: Grow is designed for innovators that have devoted time to advancing an innovation and would like to take the next step to commercialize and further develop the business.
One of the best parts—it’s free, thanks to Alberta Innovates through the Edmonton Regional Innovation Network.
Join us for a program info session, co-hosted by eHUB (University of Alberta's Entrepreneurship Centre.)
Why attend the info session?
Members of the EU team will be on site to share a program overview and answer your questions. Plus, we'll hear from several Student Founders program alumni who have since launched and grown their successful businesses.
Agenda:
5:00 pm - Doors Open
5:15 pm: Welcome and Program Overview
5:45 pm: Student Founders Alumni Panel
6:15 pm: Roundtables with Panelists & Team, Refreshments and Networking
Photographs and videos may be taken onsite during the event for use in eHUB, Edmonton Unlimited, and University of Alberta social media and communications. Should you wish to not be photographed, please notify a member of our team at the event.
