Education News Canada shared NC’s release about the inaugural NCSustainability Hackathon, which runs during Global Entrepreneurship Week from November 16 to 20.
Twenty-six teams, made up of second-and third-year students, will pore over case studies from five entrepreneurial ventures – based in Niagara and the GTA – in an effort to discover sustainable business solutions that create shared value and focus on the three P’s of sustainability: people, planet and profit in a COVID-19 era.
The teams have until Nov. 20 to collaborate virtually on ideas and submit their proposals to a judging panel made up of College business faculty. Their analysis of their assigned businesses will be reviewed and two winners will be chosen to present their ideas to the entrepreneurs at a later date. The winners will be announced online at 4 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20.
