The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has announced its new SME Institute to help Canadian entrepreneurs access the training, support, and advice they need to thrive. Founded in collaboration with RBC, the SME Institute aims to help small and medium enterprises remain competitive, even as they face the challenge of inflation and rising debt costs.

The SME Institute will operate with a network of partners, mentors and peers and resources to help businesses with challenges such as talent acquisition and retention, finding and attracting investors, embracing technology for growth, diversity, and sustainability.
