Business Ideation
Workshops

Our Business Ideation Workshops are designed for aspiring Indigenous entrepreneurs who have a business idea and are ready to explore what it could become. Delivered in partnership with Indigenous governments, organizations, and communities, these workshops are offered virtually and in-person across the North. Priority is given to participants between the ages of 18–35.

Led by EntrepreNorth’s network of trained Facilitators, participants are guided through a dynamic business design journey using the Multi-Directional Business Compass; an Indigenous-centred tool that supports holistic thinking around business, community, and impact.
