Future Enterprise Lab is an 8-week venture design program for OCAD U students and alumni interested in entrepreneurship, creativity, and future thinking. Combining speculative fiction, strategic forecasting, and venture design, this program invites participants to imagine possible futures for Toronto and explore what kinds of businesses, collectives, nonprofits, creative practices, and community initiatives might be needed in the decades ahead. Through guided readings, collaborative workshops, horizon scanning, scenario planning, and venture development activities, participants will explore emerging social, technological, economic, environmental, and cultural trends and develop enterprise concepts designed for a changing city.

OCAD U’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (CEAD) and Student Galleries have partnered to co-create a Career Launcher for an emerging arts & culture professional. The opportunity will select one individual to work with the curators/organizers on a part-time basis and support the development, staging and activation of an upcoming special exhibition to coincide with OCAD University’s 150th anniversary.
