What Your Support Enables

Sponsor contributions sustain and grow the program by supporting:

Trainee Teams - enabling more students and postdoctoral fellows to participate
Program Delivery - training, coordination, and mentorship
Capstone Experience - strengthening final projects and presentations

Additional support expands participation, partner engagement, and overall program impact.

Why It Matters

Organizations across Canada face complex challenges involving data, uncertainty, optimization, forecasting, and decision-making. M2PI addresses these needs by preparing mathematical talent for work beyond academia and connecting organizations with fresh analytical perspectives.

Your sponsorship helps build long-term capacity for innovation, collaboration, and talent development.

Ways to Engage

Organizations can participate in several ways:

As a sponsor - supporting program growth
As a project partner - submitting real-world challenges
As both - combining sponsorship with direct engagement

Sponsorship is open to organizations regardless of project participation.
