YOU’RE INVITED
Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) is delighted to invite you to join in the excitement as some of Ontario’s most promising young entrepreneurs pitch their social ventures to a panel of esteemed judges.
From 37 competition entries, ten entrants have been given a chance to work directly with one of OCE’s experienced Business Development Managers, in coordination with a MaRS Advisor, and participate in a series of MaRS Entrepreneur's Toolkit Workshops. On March 21, they will make their pitch for four prizes of up to $20,000 each.
All ten semi-finalists will also receive a Community Membership to the Centre for Social Innovation, with all of its perks and benefits.
In addition to the pitch competition there will also be a showcase of 15 socially innovative projects funded by OCE’s Social Innovation Partnership Challenge in 2011/2012.
Join us to see these promising social ventures and some excellent examples of cross-sector partnerships - all working to address some of Ontario’s most pressing challenges.
OCE’s Social Innovation (SI) program brings together members of Ontario’s business community with not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) and social enterprises (SEs) to collaborate on projects that lead to innovative products, services and business models.
