RésAUT – Entrepreneurship and Connection in Urban Areas
Developing your business project, showcasing yourself as a First Nations entrepreneur, expanding your network, finding the right support and funding resources… Establishing yourself in the urban entrepreneurial ecosystem comes with its own set of challenges, which are quite different from those faced by First Nations entrepreneurs who live in communities. However, the opportunities can be just as great!
RésAUT is an initiative born from a partnership between the FNQLHSSC and the City of Montreal, driven by the city’s desire to take concrete action in the economic reconciliation movement. Focused on networking and business connections, RésAUT offers a gathering place for First Nations entrepreneurs and connects them with key players in the Greater Montreal entrepreneurial ecosystem, including the First Nations Executive Education (FNEE), financial institutions, and various support organizations.
Specifically, RésAUT creates meeting spaces where ideas circulate, collaborations take shape, and entrepreneurs can access useful resources to advance their projects.
Through events, workshops, and themed meetings, you can:
- Expand your business network;
- Exchange ideas with other entrepreneurs who share similar realities;
- Access expertise and concrete resources;
- Develop your skills at your own pace.
