Connect with UNB
Led by Executive Director, Dr. Dhirendra Shukla, the UNB Network for Entrepreneurship and Innovation serves as a strategic connector and amplifier for UNB’s entrepreneurship ecosystem. The Network ensures students, faculty, and community innovators can seamlessly tap into the programs, mentors, funding and partnerships they need to succeed.
UNB hosts one of Canada’s strongest entrepreneurship ecosystems, offering academic programs, accelerators and supports that help students, researchers and entrepreneurs launch and grow ventures. Through undergraduate and graduate pathways, hands‑on diplomas and specialized programs, UNB prepares innovators at every stage.
Its entrepreneurial hubs—including the International Business & Entrepreneurship Centre, the J Herbert Smith Centre, the Pond‑Deshpande Centre and the Wallace McCain Institute—provide mentorship, funding, incubation and real‑world experience, complemented by competitive opportunities such as the Fraser Student Venture Fund, prototype development support and pitch competitions.
