We connect people and ideas with experts and innovators. By supporting entrepreneurs from different social backgrounds, we shape policy, bolster communities and stimulate the economy. Together, we challenge and expand the definition of entrepreneurship.
The Maria T. Schneider Social Innovation Institute is part of the School of Business. Under the leadership of Canada Research Chair Dr. Leanne Hedberg, the institute aims to break down barriers and develop roadmaps to improve access to entrepreneurship. Through social innovations such as cross-sector collaborations, community-engaged research, and social and environmental justice, Dr. Hedberg’s research supports the shift to inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems in Canada and around the world.
