Across the Western University community, entrepreneurship is accelerating. Students from every faculty are stepping forward with ideas that address real-world challenges, and the Morrissette Institute for Entrepreneurship, powered by the Ivey Business School, is meeting this demand through one of the country’s most comprehensive entrepreneurship ecosystems.
Each year, we facilitate 250+ student-focused events and networking opportunities, connecting students with founders, mentors, investors, and industry leaders. As Canada’s largest entrepreneurship research faculty, we pair evidence-based education with hands-on experience that ensures students actively practice entrepreneurship.
Your investment expands access to:
Experiential learning and venture-building education
Mentorship from entrepreneurs and investors
MakerSpaces, workshops, and showcase events
Awards, funding, and scholarships that de-risk early-stage ideas
With donor support, more students—regardless of background or discipline—can explore their entrepreneurial potential and develop skills that fuel success well beyond the start.
We are investing in the next generation of entrepreneurs. Join us with a gift that meets the most pressing needs of our students and the programs that support them—today and for generations to come.
This is your calling — to power the next wave of Canadian success stories and leave an indelible mark on the entrepreneurial landscape.
