TechAccel Summer Grant Application Deadline

Application deadline for the Summer TechAccel Grants is April 11th, 2021 @ 11:59 PM EST. 

Learn about the different ways the McGill Engine Centre can support your technologically based startup ventures. 

The TechAccel Grants help students jump-start and accelerate their technologically-based ideas that have business or social impact potential. Teams develop their entrepreneurial skills through a seven-part online training platform and one-on-one business mentorship and project funding for product, process, or service development. This program allows student participants to receive CCR recognition as it is an approved Enriched Educational Opportunities (EEO) program. The grants come out of the Engine Innovation Fund*, which is funded by charitable gifts from alumni and other community donors.
