Quantum DiversiPreneur Lab

 

 

Empowering Youth, Startups, and SMEs for the Future of Economic Diversification

The Quantum DiversiPreneur Lab (QDL) is a dynamic innovation and entrepreneurship initiative under the Global Economic Diversification Council (GED Council), designed specifically for youth, early-stage startups, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across Canada.

By combining next-generation technologies (quantum computing, AI, digital systems) with inclusive entrepreneurial training, QDL ensures young innovators and small businesses are equipped to lead in the rapidly changing global economy.

Our mission is simple:
to empower the next generation of diverse entrepreneurs with the tools, networks, and skills to build competitive, future-ready businesses. 

Youth and small businesses are at the heart of Canada’s economic future—but systemic barriers, skill gaps, and limited access to innovation networks continue to hold many back, especially BIPOC and equity-deserving communities.
