For the past four years, Incubator13 has served as an Employment and Entrepreneurship Hub for youth in Ottawa and throughout Ontario. Beginning this year, Incubator13 is embarking on a new journey to work even more closely with our youth and the wider community. To achieve this objective, we are excited to announce the official launch of our new framework, establishing us as the first Community-Based Social Innovation Lab in the capital city!
Our Community-Based Social Innovation Lab is dedicated to fostering the skills development of our local talent through various initiatives. Moreover, it seeks to unite the community through the development of small-scale social impact projects aimed at addressing pressing social issues and fostering stronger, more resilient, and flourishing communities. We firmly believe in the transformative power of local talent and knowledge in enhancing the well-being of our communities through innovation, creativity, collaboration, and cohesion.
Our Social Innovation Lab will serve as a dynamic platform for innovators eager to share their expertise and collaborate with others to bring their ideas to life. We invite members of our community to join us in exploring the vibrant world of social innovation at Incubator13.
This new initiative is inspired by the rich diversity of local talent, knowledge, skills, and resources found within our community. So, come discover our projects, initiatives, and the collaborative space where the magic of social innovation takes flight. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur, a curious individual eager to make a difference, or simply someone interested in learning more about how innovation can shape our future, our doors are open to you. Together, let’s embark on a journey of creativity, collaboration, and positive change.
This new chapter at incubator13 won’t be possible without the support of our sponsors. For this reason, in this opportunity, we are deeply grateful to the Rideau Hall Foundation for their steadfast and unwavering support in making this Community-Based Social Innovation Lab a reality. Their support enables our communities to play a more active role in transforming our city into a beacon of innovation at both national and international levels.
