From November 13th to the 20th, an estimated 17 million people participated worldwide in 35,000 events and competitions for Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). At Dawson College in Montreal, EWeek events included a diverse and inspiring lineup of speakers, mentors, networking opportunities, contests and activities for students, alumni and the Montreal community.

The two-day public sector strike did not deter the ETeam! They were determined to make EWeek happen by moving the Dawson’s Den Initial Pitch competition to Friday the 13th as a pre-EWeek event and shuffling high-profile keynote speakers from Monday/Tuesday to Wednesday/Thursday. Moreover, there were just too many quality teams wishing to pitch for the Den this year, so it was important not to lose the opportunity to showcase our amazing students. Besides, this was a great lesson to be learned about flexibility, adaptability, perseverance and leadership.
