UBC Engineering students take ideas from concept to market. Their spinoff companies exemplify innovative new ventures ranging from a product that allows homeowners to track electricity consumption to a safe landing pad for free-style snowboarders; from a device that allows the safe disconnection of plugs to an economical data storage system that provides high performance, security and reliability. UBC Engineers develop great ideas into tangible results—and create new business ventures along the way.
