St. Francis Xavier University is hosting the first-ever Impact X: A Summit on Entrepreneurship & Social Change on November 22-23, 2024.
With integral support from the Nova Scotia Department of Advanced Education, we are inviting 75 post-secondary and high school students from across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to attend.
Impact X was inspired by the ever-growing synergies developing in the StFX entrepreneurship ecosystem and StFX’s long-standing history and commitment to social change through the work of the Coady Institute and our pioneering experiential learning-based programs.
We identified a gap in the Atlantic ecosystem: while students can pitch ideas in various fora, there is no integrated event for students in all stages of the entrepreneurial cycle to focus on social impact and change. Impact X is a regional event for blossoming student entrepreneurs to come together to learn from leading entrepreneurs, community organizations, and peer institutions.
