Dalhousie University has announced that two programs for entrepreneurial-minded students, researchers and faculty from across Canada are now open for applications.

Collide Launch and Lab2Market Launch 2025 are looking for applicants who believe their research and/or ideas may be the cornerstone of a budding business, the Halifax university said in a social media post.

Collide Launch is a 12-week summer accelerator that aims to transform startup ideas into viable businesses with guidance from support staff and industry experts. Candidates for this program should be undergraduates, graduates, faculty and certificate students who have completed at least 30 customer discovery interviews.

Lab2Market Launch is also a 12-week program, and it aims to help early-stage student and research teams turn their research into scalable ventures. This program targets graduate students, PhDs, post-docs and faculty with at least 50 customer discovery interviews.

Both programs run from June to September, and each will accept 10 teams. These teams will receive up to $10,000 each in milestone payments. Applications for both programs are due March 2.
