ABOUT US
Composed solely of undergraduate students, our team is dedicated to organizing a competition where bright undergraduates compete for prizes that can transform their businesses. Competitors will also meet fellow young entrepreneurs from around the world, as well as learn from professionals, investors, and each other. Each year we receive numerous business plan submissions from around the globe, and the top 15 teams are selected to pitch their business plans to a panel of Canadian business leaders, competing for over $150,000 in prizes for the top pitching entrepreneurs. This year’s competition will be in Toronto from January 8th-10th, 2025.

We envision a platform that attracts ventures from a multitude of geographies, industries, academic disciplines, and technologies, showcasing competitors driven to make a profound impact. At the heart of the QEC lies the celebration of innovation, entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of dreams that create meaningful change. As we look ahead, our vision is to expand our reach even further, opening doors for more entrepreneurs from around the world to compete and realize their potential.
