On behalf of Startup Canada, we’d like to thank everyone who attended and participated in any of our Small Business Week events from our Startup Gov or Startup Global program. It was a week full of insightful discussions, entrepreneurial celebrations, and virtual networking on topics that matter the most to Canada’s entrepreneurs.
With the end of Small Business Week, it also comes with the end of our 2021 Startup Gov program. We will be taking in all of the recommendations and issues discussed at the forefront of Canada’s entrepreneurs and amplifying their voices to government. Now, you can relive all of our events with a click! Check out all of the recordings of each event below.
