We’re excited to launch the next cohort of the Flourishing Business Model Design Course, running from September 26, 2025, to January 30, 2026.

This offering is presented in partnership with Flourishing Startups and supported by the Social Innovation Department at Georgian College, part of Research, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Georgian is proud to be the first college in Canada designated a Changemaker Campus by Ashoka U, recognized nationally for its leadership in social innovation and changemaking in higher education.

Throughout the course, you will design your own business model using the Flourishing Business Canvas, while gaining the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to build a thriving, regenerative enterprise.
