McGill TechIES – Technological Innovators and Entrepreneurs

Logo of McGill TechIES

Students in the Faculty of Engineering and across McGill have multiple opportunities to engage in existing co-curricular activities such as student societies, associations, committees, clubs and design teams. Our goal is to expand on these existing opportunities in order to enhance and increase student innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) learning opportunities. These learning opportunities can provide students with essential skills for creating their own technologically-based companies. Furthermore, these same skills are highly valued by employers as they are necessary to identify and tackle big problems in the increasingly complex and fast-paced world of technological innovation.

We envision our Engine community and the McGill TechIES Group as change agents to help create a more innovative and entrepreneurial culture on campus.

The McGill TechIES are students across McGill, both undergraduate and graduate, that develop the entrepreneurial mindset and skills amongst themselves and their peers through technologically-based projects and connecting/working with each other.
