In collaboration with Startupfest and the Secrétariat du Québec aux relations canadiennes (SQRC), Mangrove brought together 34 leaders from 6 different provinces across Canada to participate in the first Canadian Ecosystem Gathering. Together, they got their hands dirty and talked about collaboration between innovative ecosystems across the country.
After a short portrait of Canada’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by Startup Canada and a case example of collaborations inside an ecosystem by Bonjour Startup Montreal, the leaders were divided into three discussion groups.
Together, they got down to the basics: What’s collaboration all about and why is it relevant?
They crunched their minds to provide good examples of collaboration throughout Canada, and what bad collaboration looks like.
Most importantly: What concrete actions can improve collaboration throughout Canada?
Every few days for the following weeks, we will share some insights that emerged from this collective knowledge on Mangrove’s Facebook page.
