Your entrepreneurship community
Dedicated to innovation
MACS students in the entrepreneurship stream will have their very own space within ShiftKey Labs to work during their 4 - 8 month term.
ShiftKey Labs offers a broad mix of resources, supports, and opportunities for individuals wishing to experiment with and develop start-up ideas containing a technical component.
Dalhousie University recognizes the impact it has as a hub for innovation and the role we play in one of the province's greatest competitive advantages.
Dalhousie hosts three inter-university sandboxes. Sandboxes are collaborative, interdisciplinary spaces where students can come together with peers, mentors and external advisors to take business concepts from idea to execution. The information communications technology innovation space at Dal is ShiftKey Labs, headquartered in the Faculty of Computer Science.
