Marketplace exhibitors can highlight recent, current or future Humber projects, initiatives or research. The Marketplace Exchange takes place in the Humber Student Centre (11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m.).

Help us help GlobalMedic become a finalist in the Google.org Impact Challenge. GlobalMedic, founded by Rahul Singh, who is a Humber graduate and a past Premier's Award recipients, is one of ten finalists in the Google.org Impact Challenge.

A few months ago Google announced they would be granting $5 million to Canadian nonprofits, via the Impact Challenge. Google invited Canadian nonprofits to share their best ideas for how to build a better world through technology. From hundreds of entries the field has been narrowed to just ten projects that have the potential to really change the world. Google.org will award the $5 million across the 10 finalists to help bring their ideas to life. The top five winning organizations will receive a $750,000 grant, and the remaining five finalists will receive $250,000, and you can help choose the winning organizations by voting online.

Let's help GlobalMedic become one of the top five finalists by voting for their David McAntony Gibson Foundation submission.

Voting is open until March 28 at impactchallenge.withgoogle.com/canada2017
