Capping off another successful year of hackathons and placements, the Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE) hosted the Experience Ventures Celebration and Networking Expo at Humber Downtown. The event brought together venture partners, entrepreneurs, and students for an evening of celebration, networking, and reflection on the impact of the program.

With the support of venture partners, Experience Ventures, and the Government of Canada, the initiative made a meaningful impact over the past year:

  • 347 students fully participated in hackathons, challenges, and placement experiences
  • 219 students were awarded honoraria
  • 70 venture partners collaborated with the Longo CfE

The event highlighted the collective efforts of students, partners, and organizers who contributed to creating hands-on entrepreneurial learning opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who was part of the journey. Together, we will continue building opportunities that support entrepreneurship and innovation.
