SBW - The Way Forward: New Growth Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
Five trends shaping growth opportunities in Canada
The past two years have been eventful for Canadian entrepreneurs. Yet as the economy recovers, labour shortages, the rise of remote work and e-commerce, and increasingly frequent climate events continue to have an impact of the Canadian economy. How will these trends affect your business? And how can you position yourself to pursue growth in this rapidly evolving environment?
Join BDC and the Halifax Chamber for an afternoon of networking and discussion as we walk through some of the major trends reshaping our world and share some tools to help you make the most of them.

Leanne started working with BDC in 2014 as an account manager in small business after moving to Edmonton, Alberta. After starting a family, she was excited for the chance to move back to Nova Scotia in 2018, when she took a position on the Large and Growing team at BDC here in Halifax.
After 3 years working in the large and growing sector, she is thrilled to have had the opportunity to come back to the close interactive relationships that she’s passionate about with Small Business clients in her recent role as Senior Account Manager on the Small Business team.
