Program details

Genesis is headquartered at the Emera Innovation Exchange (EIX) on Memorial University's Signal Hill Campus. The space is an open-concept, two-floor hub for early-stage tech companies. Founders working there gain access to a collaborative environment built for startup momentum, where ideas are shared, advice is exchanged, and challenges are solved in real time. The building has historical significance: Signal Hill gained global recognition in 1901 when Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal, and the space was once a recording studio for Great Big Sea and later the launchpad for companies like Bluedrop ISM and Radient360. Genesis shares Signal Hill Campus with Memorial's Gardiner Centre and Conference and Event Services, Business & Arts NL, The Newfoundland Quarterly, and the Memorial University Pensioners' Association. Some Genesis founders live on campus in graduate student accommodations. Workspace access is listed as a core benefit of Genesis Membership.
