“Aftershocks from the worst pandemic in a century continue to take an enormous physical, psychological, emotional and economic toll on the world. But whenever there’s a problem that needs to be solved, we turn to entrepreneurs. They think big and act boldly, and are willing to explore where many fear to go if there’s even the smallest chance of success.”
“For more than 25 years, we’ve had the honour of sharing the extraordinary stories of established Canadian entrepreneurs who have built strong and fast-growing ventures, often starting with little more than an idea and a deep belief in themselves and their teams. It’s those journeys that we’re proud to celebrate through our national program.”
A series of interviews that dive deeper into the pivots Canadian entrepreneurs have made while navigating COVID-19.
