Young entrepreneurs are vital to the future success and long-term sustainability of the Canadian economy. That's why initiatives like Global Entrepreneurship Week are so important, Ernst & Young says.
"Entrepreneurs propel the economy forward. They are powerful engines of economic growth," said Dan Cornacchia, Ernst & Young's National Director of the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards Program. "It's crucial for all of us to nurture entrepreneurship."
Ernst & Young is sponsoring Global Entrepreneurship Week and playing an active role in the Canadian component, Entrepreneurship Week Canada. The program includes educational and inspirational activities geared to young and aspiring entrepreneurs. Taking place all this week, the program offers workshops, seminars and other opportunities for young people to interact with successful business leaders.
"This sponsorship is part of our wider commitment to entrepreneurship, and the community. The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards were established in Canada in 1994," Cornacchia explained. "The international program recognizes the spirit and contribution of entrepreneurs here and around the world. We hope that one day, we'll be honouring some of the young people attending this week's activities."
Cornacchia will be on hand at Entrepreneurship Week Canada on Friday, where he will introduce keynote speaker - former two-time EOY Ontario award recipient and G.A.P Adventures founder - Bruce Poon Tip.
