Canada's launchpad for the next generation of founders and leaders.

Each year, ~15 of Canada's top students are selected to intern in Asia, push their limits, and join a lifelong community of entrepreneurs, leaders, and builders.

Applications for the 2026 cohort open soon.

We lift each other to new heights.

Our Fellows have joined world-class programs, schools, and companies.

And many fellows have gone on to build entrepreneurial ventures of their own.

We Believe Future Canadian Leaders Need to Understand Asia.

East and South Asia are defining the future: they are advancing AI, clean energy, electric vehicles, new digital economies, and more. Canada's role as a bridge to the region has never been more important. Gaining first-hand experience here offers a rare advantage for anyone aspiring to lead in a rapidly changing world.
