As Strategic Foresight and Innovation graduate researchers at OCAD University, we’re investigating how Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) – the backbone of Canada’s economy – can bridge the critical gap between sustainability ambitions and practical implementation. Our research delves deep into understanding how these vital enterprises, representing 99.8% of Canadian businesses, can build resilience across economic, environmental, social, and cultural dimensions while navigating an increasingly complex and disrupted world. Through this platform, we invite you to explore our journey of uncovering pathways to transform SMEs into catalysts for sustainable change, where business success is measured not just by profit, but by its positive impact on people, planet, and cultural vitality.
