Editor-in-Chief at Bay Street Bull
How do we navigate and adapt during challenging times? Our economy faces challenges stemming from interconnected issues including inflation and affordability, concern over global financial institutions, geo-political turmoil and more. It is no wonder that everyone from families and communities to small business owners is asking themselves how to best protect their financial well-being, while confronting these challenges head-on to have a positive social impact.
Join Desjardins and University of Toronto Entrepreneurship (UTE) along with a senior panel of CEOs, entrepreneurs and social leaders to discuss the benefits of harnessing an entrepreneurial mindset. This in-person event on U of T’s downtown campus invites attendees to engage in a candid conversation to explore how innovation, creativity and collaboration provide answers to our most pressing challenges and reason for optimism.
The panel discussion will be followed by a reception. An audience of U of T students, small business owners and young business professionals will be invited to stay after the discussion to network with leaders from Desjardins, U of T and the innovation and small business ecosystem.
