Launched in 2017 with support from the Hunter Family Foundation, the Hunter Hub for Entreprenurial Thinking’s vision is to improve lives and economies.

In its first five years, the Hunter Hub cultivated entrepreneurial thinking across campus through programming for all kinds of innovators, connected and grew the UCalgary innovation community, and amplified UCalgary changemakers’ stories and impact.
