UBC Sauder School of Business receives $3M for Powerhouse Project

The University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business has received $3M from Clio to fund the Powerhouse Project. This gift will fund a space within the forthcoming Powerhouse building where students, faculty, and industry leaders can collaborate on new solutions and ventures. The space will host Sauder Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship initiatives and support experiential learning with workshops, seminars, and accelerators. It will also host the nonprofit Creative Destruction Lab – Vancouver (CDL-Vancouver). “By bringing together students, faculty, and industry leaders, we’re creating an environment that empowers startups to scale and creating opportunities for both students and entrepreneurs to address the challenges that matter to our communities,” said CDL-Vancouver Executive Director and UBC Adjunct Professor Darrell Kopke.
