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.

RésAUT is for you if you would like to...

On November 18th, the monthly RésAUT event was held on a chilly evening in the cozy C.739 room at HEC Montréal. And what was the theme for this evening event? The social and cultural impacts of Indigenous businesses beyond profit!
