A School like School other…
Conceived by Marc Dutil, the École d'Entrepreneurship de Beauce opened its doors in 2010 in the heart of Quebec's most entrepreneurial region.
Marc asked a group of entrepreneurs: “If there had been a School entrepreneurs when you were young, what would you have liked to learn? That’s what you’ll be teaching atEEB.” The rest of the story takes root in the solidarity of the Beauce region and extends throughout the business community of Quebec.

The Key to Success: "E to E" Teaching
École d'Entrepreneurship de Beauce is a place of innovation. It has developed a teaching method that makes a difference in the lives of entrepreneurs. E to E is the transfer of knowledge and experience from entrepreneur to entrepreneur. With us, teachers are entrepreneur-coaches and students are entrepreneur-athletes. The experience of the former serves as a lever for the success of the latter.
Coaches...? Athletes...?
Like great athletes, entrepreneurs live their lives at full speed, need to perform, be positive, resilient and always visualize success. That's why we train entrepreneurs to become the best version of themselves!
The entrepreneur-coaches
Their dedication and generosity are at the heart of our mission. Entrepreneur-coaches are seasoned entrepreneurs who contribute to the success of others by donating their time, knowledge and stories. They invest dozens of hours in preparation, accompanied by the EEB team, to share successes, setbacks and learnings.
Imagine Jean Bédard of Groupe Grandio telling you the ups and downs of his life story? Or being challenged by Jean Laflamme of Meubles South Shore and sharing dinner with Marilyne Gagné of Dermapure?
In 12 years, more than 130 entrepreneurs from Quebec Inc. have shared their experience at EEB!
