Grâce à de forts engagements des secteurs public et privé envers les industries du capital privé et du capital de risque, Montréal est également en pleine redéfinition comme centre international de l’entrepreneuriat et des activités d’investissement. Le capital entrepreneurial canadien favorise un environnement fertile pour la création d’occasions en tirant profit de l’expertise industrielle traditionnelle, de l’accès au capital et de réseaux personnels étendus afin de se tailler une place de meneuse internationale tant pour ses entrepreneurs que pour ses investisseurs. Les initiatives organisées à Montréal la même semaine que le colloque annuel de CVCA, comme l’événement C2MTL commandité par le Cirque du Soleil et Sid Lee, Demo Day de FounderFuel et AccelerateMTL de C100, témoignent de l’engagement envers le potentiel local et le rendement récemment obtenu.
