Our Mission and Vision

We view entrepreneurship a little differently at CEED.

Our Mission

Our mission is to become a leader in entrepreneurship education and development for partners who build entrepreneurship awareness and capacity throughout Atlantic Canada.

Our Vision

CEED is devoted to helping people discover and use entrepreneurship as a vehicle to become self-reliant. We have a vision of a vibrant entrepreneurial culture for all of Atlantic Canada.

This vision has earned CEED several awards, including the Silver Award for Innovative Management from the Institute of Public Administration of Canada, the Broad Community Collaboration Award from the Conference Board of Canada, Best Community Partnership Award from the Canadian Youth in Business Foundation and Best Practice in Youth Entrepreneurship Training Award from the Enterprise Edge Conference.

Our Definition of Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is a way of life. It is a process by which we identify and act upon opportunity to create something of value under conditions of risk and considerable uncertainty.

Entrepreneurs draw upon the personal characteristics, skills, attitudes and resources they possess or obtain to bring their vision to life.

Our Values

• Community: inspiring and supporting entrepreneurship in the community.
• Innovation: challenging ourselves to develop new or innovative solutions.
• Quality: acting at all times with the highest quality for our clients in mind.
