Sask Polytech Launches Applied Research Facility

Megan Patterson: — Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister of Advanced Education and myself were thrilled to be at the official launch of the new Sask Polytech Business Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre. This is an applied research facility located at the Moose Jaw campus, designed to spark bold ideas and strengthen business growth across the province.

The centre is built on Sask Polytech’s strong foundation of applied research and career-ready education. The centre equips entrepreneurs and industry partners with tools, mentorship, and expertise to thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.

The centre will be supported by experienced faculty and connected to the Sask Polytech award-winning applied research network. The centre is uniquely positioned to help businesses innovate and scale up.

The centre’s first major initiative is the Sask Polytech Startup Challenge and mentorship and pitch competition designed to helped early-stage entrepreneurs turn ideas into viable businesses. This event will be held at the Town N Country Mall in Moose Jaw on April 16th.

As a previous business instructor at Sask Polytech, I am especially thrilled to see this come to fruition and cannot wait to see the impact it will have in our province. Thank you.
