Enhancing Entrepreneurial
Ecosystems and Programs
WHY CHOOSE US
OUR APPROACH
We strive to achieve maximum impact for our clients and for the entrepreneurs they serve. The foundation for our work is guided by three principles.
1. PRACTICE OVER THEORY
For entrepreneurs to have a chance at success, their practical day-to-day challenges and structural needs have to be addressed now, in the short term, through the implementation of practical solutions.
2. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
We recognize that entrepreneurship is not a numbers game and that good startups and companies have higher chances to thrive when quality services are in place.
3. LOCAL OVER GLOBAL
We do not use copy-paste solutions. Global experiences inspire our work but we recognize the fact that each place is special and that entrepreneurial ecosystems are diverse. We apply methodologies that will help enablers to design and implement the best solutions for the entrepreneurs they are set to serve in the context where they operate.
WHAT WE DO
OUR SERVICES
There is a difference between the existence of institutions that typically make up an ecosystem, and a collaborative ecosystem geared to benefit entrepreneurs and SMEs. Through our work we enhance the creation of synergies and relations among institutions and partners to enhance the chances of establishment and growth of companies in local communities.

“We partnered with H&D Partners to provide guidance to Centre Québécois d’Innovation en Biotechnologies (CQIB) to design the proposal of the acceleration program for companies in Bio-tech and Med-tech sectors. We were impressed by H&D Partners know-how and by their network of experts that contributed to the success of the proposal that was ultimately funded by the Government. H&D Partners demonstrated to have the capacity to work in synchronicity with us and our client CQIB, to quickly understand the need of your client and to work together to find common solutions”.
Francine Masson
CEO MPII.ca
“We’ve been working with HD Partners from the very beginning of our operations, when we were just launching IRIS Business Incubator. With their support we developed our operational processes and procedures and designed our incubation programs. We were able to kick-start our operations according to international best practices and to launch a successful incubation program that we have been running up to now. We then collaborated with H&D Partners at a later stage as well, when we needed help in developing a sustainability strategy for the incubator. The insights provided by the experts and their attention to our context, have allowed IRIS BI to start a diversification process of its sources of income and have greatly contributed its our financial sustainability.”
