Sudbury’s Laurentian University has established an Entrepreneur in Residence role to provide guidance and mentorship in entrepreneurship and business development.
Don Duval, the former CEO of NORCAT, has been appointed to the role, which was announced March 10.
“Don Duval’s experience at the intersection of innovation, commercialization, and the mining sector makes him an invaluable resource for our university community,” Tammy Eger, Laurentian’s vice-president of research, said in a news release.
According to the school, Duval will “support students, faculty, researchers, alumni, and early-stage founders by providing mentorship and strategic guidance on venture development and commercialization.”
He’ll additionally advise Laurentian on entrepreneurship programming, with an emphasis on the mining and resource sectors.
The role is a volunteer position, and Duval’s appointment runs to the end of 2026.
