MEEI program instructors and mentors work with the mindset that each graduate program participant is an entrepreneur, rather than the idea they're enrolled to become one. And the learning experiences complement this approach.

The MEEI experience wildly surpassed Alena's expectations. "The program enabled us to attend regional, national and international exhibitions, workshops and conferences. We met and networked with established business people, technical mentors, venture capitalists and potential investors. We were exposed to many of the current challenges of working within a large organization; how to enhance team building, and how to excel and achieve our goals."

Pankaj Sood
McMaster RFID Applications Lab (MRAL)

"I had some great working experience but the program taught me how to analyze and recognize an opportunity and take calculated risks. I started my own business before, but basically I just jumped in head first." Now, Pankaj has the skills and tools to properly plan and manage his projects and his business, with a disciplined approach he feels confident using.

Aizhan's opinion of the program echoes the comments of so many of its graduates. "Coming from a distant and culturally-different country can be frightening and worrisome. And yet all of the people associated with McMaster's MEEI program made me feel welcome and very much at home here in Canada."
