The Future of Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurs and their SMEs are the lifeblood of Canada’s economy – now and in the future. And today’s startups are the flagship Canadian multinationals of the future. So how can we best educate, back and encourage Canadian entrepreneurs – young and old, women and men, newbie or serial – to innovate and scale the companies that will firmly plant Canada at the forefront of the future economy?
This series draws together government leaders, academics, investors, entrepreneurs themselves and other key stakeholders to discuss what Canada must do now to best support our entrepreneurs and the amazing companies they are creating.
