NATIONAL EXPOSITION

 

The Enactus Canada National Exposition brings together student, academic and industry leaders to celebrate the achievements of Canada’s future leaders and entrepreneurs.

Over the course of the three-day event, students showcase how their community outreach projects and business ventures are enabling progress through entrepreneurial action. Through rounds of live, presentation-based competition, business leaders serving as judges determine which Enactus team and student entrepreneur will be named National Champions and represent Canada on the global stage.

The competitive process, along with additional programming, provides an opportunity for collaboration and best practices sharing, fosters innovation, encourages results and rewards excellence in entrepreneurial, community leadership.
