Countdown to Impact X!

About

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.

Partners

Impact X is a collaboration between campus partners building a dynamic entrepreneurship ecosystem at St. Francis Xavier University.

Partners include the DiscoverBox at the Coady International Institute, the Schwartz School of Business -Entrepreneurship Program, the Bachelor of Education – Business Concentration, the StFX Advancement Department and StFX’s committed alumni network and student societies.
