Entrepreneurship is a driving force behind North America's competitiveness, creating innovative solutions, quality jobs, and stronger cross-border ties. This interactive workshop will bring together leading entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders to explore how high-impact ventures can scale across the region.

Through candid conversations with founders, participants will gain firsthand insights into the challenges, turning points, and lessons behind building successful businesses. The workshop will then transition into dynamic small-group discussions that connect entrepreneurs with investors, business leaders, and other stakeholders to identify opportunities for collaboration, investment, and cross-border growth. Designed to be both inspiring and practical, the session aims to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem while advancing a more innovative, integrated, and competitive North America.
