We’re so proud of the 13 MICE students who recently presented their final business plans!

Over the past year, these Grade 10–12 students have transformed ideas into business concepts while exploring the exciting world of entrepreneurship.

The MICE (Met Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurship) program, a partnership between North Forge™️ and The MET Schools Winnipeg, gives students the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skills, embrace innovation, and gain hands-on experience before graduating high school.

Congratulations to all of this year’s students for their creativity, hard work, and dedication. We can’t wait to see where your entrepreneurial journeys take you next! 🚀

Today we celebrated a meaningful step forward for Manitoba’s innovation ecosystem.

North Forge™️ and officially signed an MOU to strengthen support for women-led technology startups and businesses through the WeTech Loans program. This partnership helps create more accessible pathways to funding, business support, and growth opportunities for founders ready to scale.

Excited to see the impact this collaboration will create. 🚀

🚀 Building a product doesn’t always start with writing code or launching a final version.

One of the most valuable skills for early-stage founders is learning how to validate ideas quickly, reduce risk, and gather meaningful feedback before investing significant time and money.

🌟 From Sketch to Prototype
Join us for an interactive session exploring how to move from an initial concept to a functional prototype — and how prototyping can accelerate your path toward an MVP and commercialization.

🗓️ May 28
🕛 12:00–1:00 PM CT
📍 Zoom
👉 Register today! (Link in bio)

💡 What You’ll Learn:
✔️ What a prototype is and how it helps mitigate risk
✔️ A real-world case study showing the journey from idea to prototype
✔️ How AI tools can support software prototyping and iteration
✔️ Time and cost considerations when developing early-stage versions of your product
✔️ What comes after prototyping, including feedback loops and MVP development

⚠️ Please note: This session is primarily geared toward software products rather than physical products.

Join us to gain practical insights that will help you validate faster, build smarter, and move forward with confidence.
