ACCELERATION OF
                                                                             ECO-COMPANIES’ GROWTH

ECOSPHERE GROUP’s VISION UNTIL 2024
By 2024, ECOSPHERE Group aims to create new places and opportunities for dissemination, exchange and business and marketing of eco-alternatives:
products, services, organizations and technologies for our health and that of the planet.

As part of its Social Involvement Policy, the ECOSPHERE Group aims to leave a lasting environmental legacy in the environments where the fairs take place by :
• Contributing to the mission of local organizations as well as by organizing local actions to protect the environment;
• Offering added value to eco-entrepreneurs by collaborating with regional development organizations, entrepreneurship support and crowd-funding platforms.

As such, with respect to the accelerator project, within 5 years, ECOSPHERE Group aims to evolve as follows :
• In complementarity with existing organizations supporting entrepreneurs as well as technical, commercial and financial experts in eco-entrepreneurship and taking
  advantage of the momentum created by fairs in several major cities in Quebec, ECOSPHERE Group will offer integrated services to cohorts of eco-entrepreneurs;
  coaching, access to crowdfunding and training on specific aspects of eco-entrepreneurship
  (E.g.: life cycle analysis, biomaterials, circular economy, impact assessment), as well as the specific aspects of the crowdfunding campaigns
  (filming, editing and video dissemination of a crowdfunding campaign)) ;
• ECOSPHERE Group will develop a course on eco-entrepreneurship, as a complement to the Launching a Business course3, and will distribute it in all Quebec school
  boards through Entrepreneuriat Quebec. The Launching a Business course is recognized for student financial assistance from the Ministry of Education.

Once the cohorts of eco-businesses accelerated by the crowdfunding ironed out and the courses in eco-entrepreneurship broadcasted, ECOSPHERE Group
will create an accelerator and an incubator of eco-companies4 in collaboration with the support organizations to entrepreneurs, technical experts,
commercial and financial expertise in eco-entrepreneurship.

Thus, by 2024, ECOSPHERE Group will have:
1. Facilitated access to the crowdfunding of more than 100 eco-businesses that will have raised more than $ 2 million in sales;
2. Contributed to maintain or create more than 100 jobs throughout Quebec;
3. Allowed several hundred eco-entrepreneurs to develop their eco-entrepreneurship skills and obtain a Certificate of Vocational Studies (CVS)
   from the Ministry of Education;
4. Allowed more than 100 eco-entrepreneurs to participate in acceleration cohorts and more than 100 eco-entrepreneurs to take advantage of project
   incubation services.
