Among its accomplishments:

  • 2200 students registered in entrepreneurship-related courses at Bishop’s University
  • 225 student-entrepreneur projects, linking training with practical experience
  • 320 clinics with experts, specifically for entrepreneurs, on a range of topics related to the business world
