Services

In a number of courses at StFX, students are required to work on projects with a community-based sponsor organization, be that a business or a non-profit/community initiative. XEDC works closely with many businesses in the area and works with a number of service organizations. We might be able to help match your students with someone who can use their knowledge.

Applied Research/Commercialization

XEDC works with StFX’s Industry Liaison Office to support faculty efforts in applied research projects and commercializing research findings. Our efforts aim to make use of our knowledge of the business world. We have expertise in the areas of market research/validation, business planning and feasibility studies. Our Centre can also add an important business sense to presentations or agreements which sometimes require a difference focus when the audience is not within academia.

Consulting Opportunities

XEDC is out in the front lines of business development. We sometimes run into consulting opportunities where we need highly skilled individuals with expertise in a variety of areas. Historically, we have always made these linkages as the needs arose. If you are interested in consulting opportunities within some business-related discipline, certainly let us know to ensure we find you when the time comes.
