  This event is brought to you in partnership with NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada).

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Accelerators can play a key role in growing early-stage companies and university research and intellectual property into market ready ventures, but not all accelerators follow the same model or offer the same services. 

  
  

  Hear from a panel of BC accelerators from both Industry and University sectors as they discuss the approaches they take to address some of the key issues faced by local entrepreneurs. The panel will also debate the success of BC in growing Silicon Valley-style accelerators and connecting entrepreneurs with industry mentors and financing.

  
  

  In addition, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the presenting accelerator facilities shortly before the VEF event (details to come).

  
  

  In conjunction with NSERC, VEF will be offering two Memberships as a draw prize to pre-registered students on the night.
  

  
  

  Panelist details of will follow shortly.
