Falling Walls Lab Atlantic Canada will host a pitching event at the Halifax Central Library on Sept. 15, offering Atlantic Canadians an entry into the international Falling Walls competition.

Falling Walls Lab is an international pitch competition that challenges students and early-career professionals to present their ideas in just three minutes. The winner will join 100 finalists participating at the global finale in Berlin in November.

Last year, Dalhousie University student Dina Rogers won the Science Breakthrough of the Year award in the Emerging Talents category with a novel method of deconstructing waste, allowing plastic constituents to be re-used.

The event is hosted by Mount Saint Vincent University and supported by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Invest Nova Scotia.
