The Défi de l’entrepreneuriat jeunesse is funded by the Secrétariat à la jeunesse, as part of the Stratégie d’action jeunesse 2015-2030.

​

The Défi defines itself within a large societal project. In this perspective, a long-term vision is called for, time being a determining factor when it comes to profound cultural changes and they need the adoption of new attitudes. By choosing to raise youth's awareness of the entrepreneurial culture, the Québec government wishes to encourage the development of the skills necessary for them to achieve their full potential and thus ensure continuation.
