Future in Focus: World Entrepreneurs’ Day

Canada’s future will be built by its entrepreneurs—innovators who take risks, create jobs, and drive growth. To stay competitive on the global stage, we must empower founders with the right tools, policies, and support to turn ambition into lasting success.

Canada’s entrepreneurs are one of our greatest strategic assets—driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of our economy. But to stay competitive in a fast-changing global landscape, we must invest in the systems, tools, and policies that help founders succeed.

Our new Future in Focus: World Entrepreneurs’ Day explores the following themes:

  • The Future is Founder-Led – Canada’s path to global innovation will be built by entrepreneurs with vision, resilience, and ambition to transform ideas into world-leading companies.
  • Think Like Owners – To stop giving our future away, Canada must cultivate a culture of ownership, ensuring Canadian entrepreneurs can capture the value of their own innovation.
  • Starting Strong – From accessing capital to navigating costs, entrepreneurs need the right start to build the next Shopify or Constellation Software right here in Canada.
  • AI and Productivity – Unlocking the potential of small and midsize enterprises with practical AI tools is essential to closing Canada’s productivity gap and staying globally competitive.
  • Entrepreneurship as a Growth Engine – Innovation, job creation, and economic diversification depend on founders who are ready to take risks and build for the long term.

Now is the time to reimagine how we support Canada’s entrepreneurs—through smarter policies, stronger capital access, and trusted innovation systems.

Let’s work together to empower founders, strengthen our economy, and secure Canada’s place as a global leader in innovation and growth.
