SPEnD: New social enterprises at Algonquin College in 2025
Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
As the Social Innovation Lab’s SPEnD research initiative concludes, we are launching two new student-led social enterprises at Algonquin College this summer. These ventures, Green Loop Club and SPEnDless, are designed to address specific needs within our community.
Our social enterprises are guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, ensuring they contribute to a more sustainable future. The “Xplore Impact” tool, developed by previous SPEnD students, has been instrumental in shaping our initiatives by drawing inspiration from global social entrepreneurship models.
We invite you to join us at the Applied Research Showcase to learn about our progress and help refine these innovative ventures as they come to life on campus. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping us launch successful and impactful social enterprises.
