Acrylic Design Logo 2022

The TechAccel Grant allowed us to transition our project from just an idea to something we work on every day. Without the grant I probably would not have learned as much due to lack of funds and incentive. I am glad we found this opportunity.

TechAccel is great as the starting point for an engineering startup. It will give you the funds to start developing the idea, to make your dreams come true.

Endocare logoMy experience with TechAccel was wonderful. I feel that this incubator helped me take an idea and transform it into something that could actually be commercialized. I've had the opportunity to take something that seems daunting as a first-year to breaking it down and coming up with solutions to problems. McGill Engine definitely provides the confidence and resources to ensure that a startup is going on the right path.

TissueTinker logoWith strong roots in the McGill Engineering faculty, the TissueTinker team is well equipped to handle complex technical challenges, but it has only been through the experienced mentors, insightful workshops, and top-notch training provided to us through the McGill Engine’s TechAccel Program that we have been able to take TissueTinker’s technology from the laboratory and build it into a business. Our team is very proud to be a part of McGill Engine, and we would recommend the TechAccel Program to any engineering student that is looking to build their ideas into a viable business.
