Cirque Du Soleil: Montreal Business

Montreal Gazette Dept: "No other province in Canada has produced so many multinationals," says Louis Jacques Filion, an expert in entrepreneurship at the HEC Montreal business school, according to Montreal Gazette. A report published last year by the Fondation de l'Entrepreneurship and Leger Marketing showed the rate of business ownership in Quebec is just half that in Canada as a whole and quebec has done a great job of producing world-class companies over the last three or four decades. Think of homegrown giants like Bombardier, Cirque du Soleil, Jean Coutu, Transcontinental, CGI and Quebecor, to name just a few. But there are real concerns about the future. Is Quebec's entrepreneurial spirit starting to fade? Where is the next generation of risk-takers and business visionaries? As reported in the news.
