The Technological Innovation Certificate program introduces students to business fundamentals and to the processes necessary to design and commercialize technologically-innovative solutions. Students who complete the program will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to identify good problems involving tech innovation opportunities, to design solutions to those problems, and to commercialize their innovations.

Students in the Technological Innovation Program will be able to gain additional experience through the award winning USask SIGMA Educational Skill Accelerator (https://engineering.usask.ca/departments/sigma.php), and other co-curricular activities offered by the Tech Innovation Program.
