The Pond-Deshpande Centre acts as a catalyst to advance innovation and entrepreneurship in New Brunswick and the region by facilitating collaboration among entrepreneurs, emerging and aspiring companies, students, faculty and alumni.

The PDC works within the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem to create learning & mentorship opportunities for aspiring innovators that will provide them with a sound foundation in technical and social entrepreneurship, give them the opportunity to engage in the experience and explore their possibilities for success.

The PDC also serves as a resource for new entrepreneurs to help translate their ideas into companies, products or services.
