Series: Spotlight on Startups at U of T
Published: September 13, 2013
U of T translates research into innovations that support economic growth and social health. It’s a place where entrepreneurial spirit is developed and encouraged, as faculty and students work together, turning their research into successful businesses.
U of T News is running a series called Spotlight on Startups to share stories about the many ways innovations come to life at the university and continue to develop in the national and global economy.
This series profiles the many entrepreneurial efforts growing from the hundreds of companies spun out from research and connections sparking every day at the University of Toronto:
U of T hosts more than 50 enterprise-fostering courses, programs, labs, clubs, contests and speaker series across its faculties, departments and campuses — and then there are all the innovations developing in informal settings. U of T ranks No. 1 in North America for number of startups launched. And its roster of spin-off companies driving innovation in Toronto and around the world continues to grow.
At a time when Canada has been accused of lagging behind in the global push to build an innovation economy, U of T works to remedy that innovation gap as it builds opportunities for the next generation and addresses key societal problems with real-world applications of its research.
This page is where you can keep up to date on the latest news and stories featuring entrepreneurship at the University of Toronto, both as part of the Spotlight on Startups series and beyond.
