DO YOU HAVE A TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS CHALLENGE YOU ARE TRYING TO SOLVE?

Sprint to Innovate powered by Canada Life brings together students of various disciplines (technology, business, entrepreneurship, etc) from Manitoba post-secondary institutions to learn about innovation, and collaborate in a fun and exciting challenge to build a minimum viable prototype for you in just two days (the weekend of January 31 to February 2, 2025).

Sprint to Innovate is about learning innovation, being innovative, building deeper relationships, problem-solving and developing solutions to real business challenges. We know that employers are looking for employees to be innovative, and this event will allow students the opportunity to nurture their inner innovation and help your organization in the process.

Résultats et livrables attendus

Teams of 4 to 6 students will choose from available business challenges provided by industry.

Students will then work together with support from mentors to create a solution, including developing a prototype to be presented to judges on the final day.

A prototype is a simple experimental model of the proposed product used to learn from. Prototypes range from low-fidelity (paper-based) prototypes that are used to explain concepts all the way to high-fidelity prototypes that have functional elements with more detail. Teams may consist of technology and business students.
