Our Mission

The University of Toronto Bio-Entrepreneurship Network (UofTBEN) is an interdisciplinary community that connects students at the intersection of STEM and business. Whether rooted in one field, exploring both, or just beginning the journey, all are welcome.

Our mission is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to succeed in interdisciplinary fields, preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow's integrated business, science, and technology landscape.

We believe in creating opportunities for learning, collaboration, and professional development through workshops, networking events, competitions, and industry partnerships.
