Celebrating Canada’s Young Entrepreneurs of the Year

Nominations for YEY 2024 are open!

Celebrate with us 🥳

This November 8th, join us in congratulating the 2024 YEY Awards in an evening of inspiration and celebration.

Last year, we realized that no one event truly came together to celebrate the impact young people have on the Canadian startup ecosystem. Young people are at the forefront of innovation, making strides for Canada, and pushing the country to new heights. That's why we decided to build an event that brings together all organizations and individuals that believe and are invested in Canada’s young and bright minds. All for a night of celebration, recognition, and inspiration!

By joining the Young Entrepreneurs of the Year Award, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Celebrate the hard work you and your team have put in over the past years.

  • Inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.

  • Gain access to an exclusive global network of participants.

  • Become part of a lifelong community of other young entrepreneurs.

If you or someone you know is a young entrepreneur making strides in Canada, we want to celebrate you! It’s time to take a step back and look how far we’ve come. 

We can’t wait to meet you!

Spotlighting young people doing big things.

By recognizing impact, we aim to accelerate your growth.

⏩ Accelerating impact

Take a minute to stop and say yay. Yay to how far you’ve come and yay to the peers you’ve made along the way. YEY.
