BMO Announces its Participation in Expo Entrepreneurs

Quebec event brings together entrepreneurs from all over the province 

MONTRÉAL, Jan. 23, 2018 /CNW/ - BMO Financial Group today announced it will be participating in Expo Entrepreneurs. The event, which targets future entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, aims to nurture the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Quebec by bringing together business owners from all fields as well as those involved in their success.

It also provides a special opportunity for BMO to talk to entrepreneurs and offer them customized solutions for their businesses.

BMO's participation in Expo Entrepreneurs represents one part of the bank's mission aimed at providing an exceptional customer experience to its personal and commercial banking customers, and is also related to the I see mtl movement initiated by BMO jointly with the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal in 2014. I see mtl is designed to give a major boost to the Greater Montréal Area and make the region more prosperous; Expo Entrepreneurs supports this by helping grow trust and pride in the city and its economy.

"BMO commends the efforts of the organizers and designers of Expo Entrepreneurs who developed this event aimed at supporting local entrepreneurs and contributing to the economic development of Montréal and the province of Quebec," said Claude Gagnon, Head, Office of the President, BMO Financial Group, Quebec. "Contributing to an event like Expo Entrepreneurs is part of the various initiatives that we have undertaken to support entrepreneurship, and we are happy to play an active part in this major economic event".

"Expo Entrepreneurs came about because of a need to bring Quebec's entrepreneurial community together and help it grow, form close business relations, and develop a global reach. With over 5,000 attendees and a community of partners truly invested in the cause, we believe that on January 24 and 25, we can say, mission accomplished," stated Nima Jalalvandi, CEO, Expo Entrepreneurs.
