Are you a student? Are you interested in innovation and entrepreneurship within the green hydrogen and bioenergy sector?
This event is for you!
The RQEI – Quebec Network on Smart Energy in collaboration with the Escouade Énergie-Regroupement des CCTTs en transition énergétique are pleased to invite you to a day for student entrepreneurship.
Come and experience with us a real immersion in this rich and stimulating ecosystem.
An “entrepreneurial pitch” contest will be held with 3 prizes available ($1,500, $1,000, $500). You must be a student in order to participate in the competitions.
A conference by Dominic Gagnon, Co-founder of connect&Go and blogger for Les Affaires, will be presented, followed by a workshop and a pitch contest will be offered. Finally, you will be the first to witness the launch of calls for projects to support student entrepreneurial initiatives “from idea to business” in the green hydrogen and bioenergy sector.
