The Canada Entrepreneurship & Business School Vision-2030 (CEBS Vision-2030) Project is a
revolutionary initiative to bring the power of MBA education beyond the ivory towers and into
the hands of entrepreneurs everywhere. This is where academic knowledge meets practical,
street-level insights to empower Canadian entrepreneurs, small business owners, and innovators
across diverse communities. By bridging education and action, CEBS Vision-2030 aims to
redefine entrepreneurship in Canada for a sustainable and inclusive future.
CEBS Vision-2030 brings together a dedicated team of educators, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and policy advisors committed to supporting the development of Canada’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. As a new model for entrepreneurship education, CEBS leverages practical skills and real-world insights to make advanced business education accessible to all Canadians, from startup founders to community-based business owners.
Our core belief is that every Canadian entrepreneur deserves the tools and support needed to turn innovative ideas into successful, sustainable businesses. Through this project, we are bridging the gap between traditional MBA programs and the dynamic, evolving needs of the modern entrepreneur.
CEBS Vision-2030 is a strategic initiative designed to empower and equip Canadian entrepreneurs with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving global economy by 2030.
