The McGill Innovation Fund (MIF) is the largest entrepreneurial competition at McGill

Since its inception in 2021, the MIF has become the launchpad for many companies. Bringing together a powerful ecosystem of McGill researchers, alumni volunteers, and professional service providers, it has catalyzed entrepreneurial activity across the University.

More than just funding

One of the cornerstones of the MIF is a generous funding package, divided among three levels of support: Discover ($25,000), Develop ($50,000) and Deploy ($100,000). But more than financial backing the MIF also operates a comprehensive support program, which can provide even greater value to teams in terms of advice, access and knowledge.

The goal of the MIF is simple: help move research out of the laboratory and into the marketplace, where it can benefit society. In this regard, it is irrelevant whether a team is focused on creating a company, or licensing their technology to another firm. The MIF supports all innovation, so long as there is a commitment to move the idea forward.
