Vision

Fueling innovative minds.

Stay fresh. Stay agile. Stay fueled to adapt to every change that comes your way. Equilibrium avoidance and non-linearity in innovative thought is fast becoming an entrepreneurial imperative. Through an non-traditional environment, we aspire to transform linear thought for those seeking to advance entrepreneurship from within their organizations.

The Vail Centre for Entrepreneurship unites researchers interested in expansive opportunities, promising entrepreneurs progressing in new directions, and lifelong entrepreneurs looking to refine their approach. Our goal is to ignite entrepreneurial interests through dynamic experiences.

The Entrepreneurship experience:

  • Resource-rich instructional and experiential learning environment
  • Sessions, speakers, and programs providing an assemblage of dynamic trending topics within the vast field of entrepreneurship
  • Inspiration from leading educators, authors, and practitioners respective of their entrepreneurial craft
  • Transformative approach for idea engagement
