This is achieved through inviting key guest speakers, angel investors and people with proven experience in this field that will share real/application scenarios and case studies researches may find applicable.

 

EEA is also interested in engaging the local communities in the Okanagan area with the members of the club in order to help researches sense the type and sort of problems business need solutions for and create an ecosystem where ideas spark.

 

Through different commercialization processes/techniques the members will be able to identify the problems, understand market trends, provide roadmaps and to create a value proposition and seek financial means to ensure a healthy and sustainable flow of resources throughout the lifespan of a new project.

 

Moreover, Workshops, seminars and case studies will be provided to allow students to network with the community and thus provide meaningful impact and sense of the challenges students face throughout the project.
