HELIX, Seneca's innovation and entrepreneurship incubator, invites Seneca students, graduates, faculty and staff, along with members of the community, to explore and develop their entrepreneurial mindset.
Through free programs tailored to serve unique communities, HELIX provides the tools needed to design and launch a scalable startup or to innovate from within an existing organization as an intrapreneur. This includes HELIX’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incubator, Career Recharge, HERizons, HELIX RISE and the HELIX Summer Institute.
Innovative employees, or intrapreneurs, can positively impact all sectors of the economy. Intrapreneurs are agile and quickly adapt to new situations. HELIX supports individuals in building their intrapreneurial assets so that they may in turn develop innovative solutions to existing problems within their sector.
Building on this established innovation design framework, HELIX provides additional resources to assist those dedicated to developing, launching and scaling their own ventures. Supports for entrepreneurs include coaching/mentorship, co-working space, networking introductions and events, guest speaker presentations, funding application assistance, enhanced experiential learning opportunities and ecosystem engagement.
