The B-Clinic Marketplace, presented in the 9^th Floor penthouse of the Henry Angus building, is the forum that matches organizations from the business community with Sauder MBA and ECM students. Organizations with unique business opportunities will present a five minute pitch including a description of their business and its specific challenge(s). A short Q&A session will follow. Once presentations are complete, students will have an opportunity to interact further with the speakers, exchanging questions and gaining additional insight as needed.

To view a profile of these organizations, please visit the B-Clinic website at bclinic.sauder.ubc.ca.

Following the Marketplace, interested students can upload their resume to the B-Clinic website and apply for any of the available projects. Listen. Ask. Choose. Apply. It’s that easy!
