What is SPARK?

SPARK is an event that connects students with centres, initiatives, and innovators to learn about different entrepreneurial opportunities on campus.

This open-mic style showcase celebrates the amazing startups and innovation projects being developed on campus, bringing the community together to achieve even more!

Student entrepreneurs, innovators, organizations, and clubs will each have a chance to pitch for 2 minutes, followed by pizza and networking.
