Join Us for two pivotal days that will alter the future of Black Entrepreneurship in Canada
The Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge Hub (BEKH), in collaboration with its six regional hubs, invites you to an impactful two-day conference designed to mobilize groundbreaking research into effective actionable solutions that will determine the future of Black entrepreneurship in Canada. This hybrid event—accessible both online and in person—promises to energize, inspire, and equip participants with the tools and connections to drive meaningful change.
Under the theme “Leveraging the Collective: Mobilizing Black Entrepreneurship Knowledge to Drive Policy, Practice, and Progress,” this conference will unveil innovative, first-of-its-kind research conducted by BEKH and its community partners. These insights will play a pivotal role in shaping the policies and practices that will support Black entrepreneurs and strengthen their impact on the Canadian economy.
The event brings together entrepreneurs, policymakers, academic scholars, and private sector partners to explore the findings of national research into Black entrepreneurship and its implications for the wider Canadian economy. Expert speakers and attendees will reflect on key discoveries, examine the role of policy, and share actionable strategies to unlock the economic and social potential of Black businesses.
