A true showcase of the next generation's entrepreneurial talent, ENTREPRISE 2026 will give the public, industry professionals and partners the opportunity to discover business concepts developed by graduates at the end of their college journey. More than a final project, the event represents a concrete opportunity for these young creators, strategists and entrepreneurs to present their vision, test their ideas in front of the industry and take a first step toward developing promising projects.

At a time when the fashion, business and creative industries are evolving rapidly, ENTREPRISE 2026 highlights a new generation of talent capable of thinking differently, proposing innovative solutions and actively contributing to the future of Quebec's creative ecosystem.

During the evening, five finalist teams selected by mmode, the Metropolitan Fashion Cluster, will take the stage to present their concept to the public. Each team will have received guidance from an industry expert, who supported them in refining their business proposal.

The industry experts associated with ENTREPRISE 2026 are François Vachon of Coccoli, Tammy Hattem of Raphaël U and alldayer, Amanda Azer of Accent Labels, Bianca Izzo of La Vie en Rose, and John-Michael Minon of RW&CO. Through their mentorship, these professionals help bring graduates closer to the realities of the market, while providing them with a strategic perspective on the viability, relevance and potential of their projects.

Ahead of the evening, LaSalle College will also have the pleasure of welcoming more than 150 members of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal (CCMM) for an Apéro montréalais Loto-Québec. This networking moment will bring together professionals from various backgrounds in a warm and dynamic atmosphere.

Following the presentations, the Best Business Concept Award will be presented to the winning team by Audrey Champoux, Deputy Director of Communications, Press Relations at the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada and a 2017 graduate of LaSalle College's Fashion Marketing program. The evening will also provide an opportunity to recognize the journey, commitment and efforts of several deserving students through an awards ceremony.

ENTREPRISE 2026 is also made possible thanks to the support of partners and sponsors who share a common goal: supporting the emergence of new talent and actively contributing to the development of the next generation in the fashion, business and creative industries. LaSalle College would like to warmly thank its main partner, Kim & Co., as well as Centric Brands, which will offer a dream internship to one graduating student, creating a concrete bridge between education and the job market.

The event also benefits from the valuable support of numerous partners and sponsors from the fashion, business, creative and entrepreneurial ecosystems: Coccoli, Groupe Dynamite Inc., Reitmans Canada Limited, La Vie en Rose, Raphaël U, Ardene, Bonlook, Peterbilt Atlantic, Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth, Psycho Bunny, Desjardins Caisse du Sud-Ouest de Montréal, Accent Labels, Télio, Club Tissus, Ian St-Pierre Chef sur demande, the LaSalle College Student Association, Lambert, DK Company, Lola Denim, Jammers Apparel Group, ALDO and Vignoble Rivière du Chêne.
