To mark the launch of GEW 2018 in Canada, I joined Futurpreneur and a variety of Futurpreneur-supported entrepreneurs last Thursday in a flag raising ceremony on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

By supporting the next generation of youth entrepreneurs, Futurpreneur Canada is investing in our future economy.  Our government is making important investments in innovation, skills training and infrastructure. Entrepreneurs will be key to leveraging these investments to grow our economy and create good-paying, middle class jobs.

Futurpreneur Canada has been fueling the entrepreneurial passions of Canada’s young enterprise for two decades. They are the only national, non-profit organization that provides financing, mentoring and support tools to aspiring business owners aged 18-39. Their internationally recognized mentoring program hand matches young entrepreneurs with a business expert from a network of more than 2,800 volunteer mentors.

Please keep a look out for future applications rounds.
