OSEntreprendre is much more than an organization. It’s a motor for inspiring and developing Québec’s entrepreneurial spirit. Since its creation in 1998, it’s brought together and mobilized more than 1.5 million young people, students and entrepreneurs from every region, encouraging them to take action and bring their ideas to life. Its objective to build a prouder, more innovative, committed and prosperous Québec translates into positive change through the initiatives it encourages.
With an extensive network of partners and allies, OSEntreprendre gathers entrepreneurs and young people alike, from elementary to university students, at the yearly Semaine des entrepreneurs à l'école, when daring minds have the chance to shine at the Défi OSEntreprendre Challenge. Thousands of participants take part, each one on the same mission: identify a need, imagine a solution and put it into action.
OSEntreprendre offers a solid framework for nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit, along with educational tools and a discourse focused on the human side of the entrepreneurial journey. Every project, every idea shared helps propel Québec forward.
Today, after more than 25 years of activity, OSEntreprendre represents a unique model of collective growth, which draws on a network of diversified players. By inspiring entire generations to take action, it’s paving the way for a bolder, more innovative Québec.
OSEntreprendre and Les Produits du Québec
“When my father told me stories, he didn’t talk about princesses, but about the real superheroes in his eyes: entrepreneurs! Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve learned that buying from a Québec entrepreneur is one of the best ways of supporting our own. That’s why I believe so firmly in OSEntreprendre’s mission and its practice of sourcing from local suppliers!”
– Manon Théberge, President and CEO of OSEntreprendre
