Shaping the future through innovative ideas

Supported by the generosity of donors, UCeed fills the gap between government and social funding and private investment, accelerating UCalgary and community-based startup companies.

UCeed operates at the centre of a robust and thriving ecosystem at UCalgary that incubates innovation and supports and invests in the next generation of entrepreneurs. It isn’t just about research and commercialization; UCeed develops talent for the future workforce and launches the technology of tomorrow.

From UCalgary students who get their first job in a lab supporting innovative invention, researchers who are translating lab-based discovery into community impact, students and staff supporting UCeed venture capital, and new grads working for an entrepreneurial start-up, UCeed creates new jobs that fuel the economy and shape the future of our province.
