Nations with a strong startup culture are ones that spread ideas, bring innovations to the world and contribute to its overall economic prosperity. How do you boost entrepreneurial spirit in a country like Canada, with a vast geography and diverse culture? Canada’s approach to celebrating entrepreneurship has to be national and localized all at once. How and why should we, as individuals, businesses, organizations, and governments, celebrate entrepreneurship?
