Entrepreneurship workshop for designers. The 2025-2026 Cohort in underway!

Continuing its support for development of entrepreneurial skills in design, the Bureau du design is partnering with the École de technologie supérieure’s (ÉTS) new Design department.

To support their creative abilities, designers who are also entrepreneurs often need to hone their management and business development reflexes. The training workshop is aimed at micro-businesses, SMBs and new entrepreneurs in the design sector to support their development.

The workshop is co-led by Professor Guillaume Blum, Director of the Design department, and PhD candidate Raphaël Guyard, with input from various consultants to nurture participants’ thinking and progress.

The workshop will be conducted during fall and winter 2025–2026.
