The CanadianSME Business Award took place on January 28th 2020. We are very pleased with the turnaround of the event as it was extremely successful. The CanadianSME Business Award gathered over 400 attendees including high profile guests, such as Rocco Rossi, President and CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, Jackie King, Chief Operating Officer of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, and the honourable Vic Fedeli, the Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade of Ontario. A celebration of Canadian entrepreneurship at its finest, the awards was a night that celebrated and recognized the many achievements of successful entrepreneurs. Presented by top leaders in the Canadian business industry, the CanadianSME Business Award recognized entrepreneurs in several different categories such as the Small Business of the Year, the Entrepreneur of the Year, the Technopreneur of the Year, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Business Woman of the Year Award. More than just a night of recognizing top entrepreneurs for their hard work and success, the CanadianSME Business Award was a great occasion for business owners to meet and mingle with other entrepreneurs. A fruitful networking opportunity, it was an evening that many entrepreneurs will not soon forget. Whether they were nominated or among the lucky winners who took home an award, entrepreneurs had the opportunity to have their name and business gain visibility towards some of Canada’s top leaders and investors. We at CanadianSME are strong supporters of the Canadian small and medium sized business industries and therefore have made it our goal to do what we can to help them have a successful journey. With that in mind, we are very pleased with the success that the CanadianSME Business Award gained and are looking forward to the next one. Because a stronger SME industry means a stronger economy for Canada, we will continue to do what we can to contribute to the success of Canadian entrepreneurs. Presenting partner
