The Next Great Innovator Challenge

At RBC, we are serious about innovation. We like to ask questions that start out, “what if we….?” and “why do it this way?” We are constantly looking for innovative approaches to every facet of our business.

We introduced the RBC Next Great Innovator Challenge in 2006 as a way for us to put our ideals into action. Today, it continues to be a way for us to tap into one of the greatest innovation resources this country has to offer: our students. Each year, we’ve asked post-secondary students from across Canada to answer a real-world business challenge and through that process have met some of the most creative, cutting-edge and inventive young people – with ideas that have the potential to shape and shift the future of financial services in Canada.

Through the Next Great Innovator Campaign, we’re living innovation, and putting into practice the principles of teamwork, idea creation and constant progress.
