Who are the most famous Canadian entrepreneurs?
We asked thousands of Canadians to name the most famous entrepreneurs from Canada and the world.
The top Canadians cited were all men, mostly historical figures or inactive in the businesses that made their name. Although the top global examples were more contemporary, they were also all men.
A New Vision for Canadian Entrepreneurship
The mission of the Canadian Entrepreneurship Initiative was to support a more ambitious, inclusive and informed culture of entrepreneurship in Canada.
The campaign, launched in 2017, showcased industry leading research and insights on attitudes and barriers towards entrepreneurship in the country - and sparked a larger conversation between all sectors of society.
