The IDEA Medal
First awarded in 1984, IDEA recognizes international entrepreneurial excellence. Recipients are presented with a custom IDEA gold medal created by the Royal Canadian Mint at Manitoba’s “Dinner of the Year”. The dinner is hosted by the Associates whose tremendous efforts and influence ensure IDEA achieves increasing success by celebrating extraordinary recipients. IDEA continues to generate international awareness for the University of Manitoba and the I.H. Asper School of Business.
