ABOUT
The UBC Cloud Innovation Centre (CIC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is a collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), and opened in January 2020. It is the first of its kind in Canada, and provides UBC students with unique work-integrated learning opportunities.
The mission of the UBC CIC is to solve real-world challenges that materially benefit British Columbia, Canada and the world, by engaging and collaborating with stakeholders in innovation challenges. Collaboratively, we build shareable, repeatable and sustainable cloud technology solutions in support of UBC’s mission.
Innovation
We execute on great ideas that bring value to the community. We co-create and iterate without fear of failure; we continuously learn.
Integrity
We strive to be clear, consistent and transparent and we invite scrutiny. We acknowledge the contributions of others.
Accountability
We value the freedom to express ideas through respectful discourse without risk of censure. We deliver on commitments.
Openness
