Our Programmes

ThincLab Canterbury provides a transformative experience in the form of both cohort based and individual business education and advisory services.

Based alongside the University of Canterbury Centre for Entrepreneurship, we also co-facilitate specialised virtual and in-person accelerator programmes such as those delivered as part of the regional Supernodes Strategy.

Participants become part of a supportive community of entrepreneur founders, advisors and investors that shares knowledge and celebrates success.

See below for more information about the ThincLab Canterbury Growth Programme and the ThincLab Canterbury PACE Programme.

Applications are welcome from entrepreneurs across the Canterbury region as well as from within the university.
