Black Entrepreneurship Futures

Join us for a dynamic afternoon of knowledge-sharing and community connection as we celebrate the culmination of research initiatives funded through the Federal Black Entrepreneurship Program. Since its launch in 2021, this program has supported compelling research examining the unique experiences, challenges, and opportunities facing Black entrepreneurs in Quebec.

This panel discussion offers a unique opportunity to connect research with community impact. Our researchers will share their findings, reflect on lessons learned, and explore opportunities for sustaining and building upon their work.  

This event is free and open to all members of the community, including entrepreneurs, business support organizations, researchers, students, and anyone interested in contributing to the continued growth and success of Black entrepreneurship in Quebec.
