Unlocking Global Competitiveness with ESG Practices with EDC | Startup Global

​​This is the first Entrepreneurs Going Global Panel that Startup Canada will host, as part of the Startup Global 2023 program. These panels will walk you through the tools and resources you need to get your business export ready. To help break down the market entry barrier, we will facilitate conversations between entrepreneurs, partners and support organizations to support export-readiness for Canadian entrepreneurs.

​​ABOUT
Export Development Canada believes that good environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices are key to the long-term growth and success of their customers and Canada’s prosperity. Strong ESG practices mitigate risks, open doors to new opportunities, drive innovation, attract top talent and strengthen the social and economic fabric of the Startup Communities. This panel discussion, moderated by EDC will explore how strong ESG practices are critical for Canadian companies - not just to mitigate risks, but as a competitive accelerator in the global ecosystem.
