About CCSBE:

The Canadian Council for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (CCSBE) is a Federally incorporated non‐profit organization created to:

  • provide a forum for the exchange of ideas by people working in the support of or for the development of small business and entrepreneurship in Canada,
  • foster the development of entrepreneurial activities in Canada, and
  • provide opportunities for networking and the exchange of information and ideas relevant to small business and entrepreneurship.

This year’s CCSBE Conference, hosted by the J Herbert Smith Centre for Technology Management and Entrepreneurship focuses on diverse and inclusive approaches to advancing entrepreneurship and driving economic and social recovery across sectors and countries – and adopts a comparative and international perspective in addressing topics related to entrepreneurship, innovation and technology.

Researchers, educators, entrepreneurs, administrators, students, policy makers and all interested in advancing entrepreneurship and small business are invited to participate in this great gathering.

As we look to re-open our economies, there’s never been a more critical time to convene, discuss and open the dialogue on how we support small businesses and build resilient companies in light of the challenges introduced by Covid-19.
