Dalhousie University’s flagship entrepreneurship program is the Norman Newman Centre for Entrepreneurship in Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management. The NNCE fosters an experiential learning environment for students from all faculties interested in entrepreneurship and business creation.

Since 2004, we've been cultivating and promoting entrepreneurship and innovation through curriculum, workshops, seminars, and competitions so that students, faculty and members of the community can develop the skills and creativity needed to bring ideas to market. 

All of our programs are designed to enhance students’ entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and networks. The Centre has deep connections to the regional innovation ecosystem that transcend the university, government and industry boundaries.
