BDC和社区未来发起100万加元倡议,通过扩大资金和支持,促进加拿大农村企业家的发展。 BDC and Community Futures launch $100M initiative to boost rural Canadian entrepreneurs with expanded funding and support.

加拿大企业发展银行正与社区未来组织合作发起一项1亿美元的倡议,以支持加拿大全国52万农村和偏远企业家,那里的创业率高于城市地区。 The Business Development Bank of Canada is launching a $100 million initiative, in partnership with Community Futures, to support 520,000 rural and remote entrepreneurs across Canada, where entrepreneurship rates are higher than in urban areas. 该方案旨在通过267个地方社区未来办事处扩大获得资本、培训和商业工具的机会,可能使贷款数额翻一番,并加强对早期创业的支助。 The program aims to expand access to capital, training, and business tools through 267 local Community Futures offices, potentially doubling loan amounts and enhancing support for early-stage startups. 它补充了BDC在以前对妇女和土著企业家的投资基础上制定的更广泛的社区银行战略,预计五年内将产生高达2.5亿美元的国内生产总值,解决农村企业所有者面临的地理和资源障碍。 It complements BDC’s broader Community Banking strategy, building on prior investments in women and Indigenous entrepreneurs, and is expected to generate up to $250 million in GDP over five years by addressing geographic and resource barriers faced by rural business owners.
