Student Ideathon: teams develop and pitch solutions across Science & Bio, Sustainability or Policy for cash prizes and networking
Turn ideas into solutions, compete across 3 streams, and win from $2,000 in prize money!
Welcome to Enactus Guelph Ideathon 2026!
Get ready for Ideathon, an innovation competition where students from different programs and backgrounds come together to turn ideas into creative solutions for real-world challenges.
The day will feature workshops from LSC (Lang Sustainability Conference) , GEMA (Government, Economics & Management Association), iGEM Guelph (International Genetically Engineered Machine) , and the Wood Centre , giving participants insights, resources, and tips to help tackle the case.
Participants will work in teams to develop a solution in one of three streams: Science & Bio Innovation, Sustainability, or Government & Public Policy , and pitch their ideas to a panel of judges.
The event will conclude with a networking reception at the Art Gallery of Guelph , where finalists and winners will be announced.
No previous case competition, business, or pitching experience is required, just bring your ideas and creativity!
