Entrepreneurship | Rewiring the system: How UCalgary rethinks entrepreneurial education

About this episode

The episode discusses how the University of Calgary is rethinking entrepreneurial education to foster a mindset for creating systemic change.

In this episode, we are joined by Oleks Osiyevskyy and Guy Levesque from the University of Calgary to unpack what it really means to rewire entrepreneurial education. Drawing on the work done at the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking, they challenge the idea of entrepreneurship as just startups and commercialisation, and make the case for entrepreneurial thinking as a mindset for creating change across systems. From intrapreneurship to building inclusive pipelines that serve students, researchers, and communities alike, this conversation offers a grounded look at how universities can design education that leads to real-world impact.
