There’s no stopping Surrey’s Michael Cheng. The young Simon Fraser University entrepreneur has been named to the 2013 cohort of The Next 36, a national initiative aimed at transforming Canada’s most promising post-secondary students into leading entrepreneurs.
Earning the spot comes on the heels of a series of awards for the 23-year-old, including the Student Entrepreneur of the Year award (2012) at SFU and for the City of Surrey, which earlier named him one of the city’s top 25 under 25.
(Toronto – December 3, 2012) The Next 36 - a ground breaking initiative to transform the country’s most promising undergraduates into Canada’s top entrepreneurs - has chosen its 2013 cohort. Selecting only 36 young innovators was made difficult by record applications from the country’s best students – more than double last year.
The successful candidates were chosen from a group of 70 finalists representing 19 universities, who had flown from across Canada and from as far away as Singapore to compete for a spot in the program’s National Selection Weekendin Toronto.
