National Bank Financial Group employs a range of sponsorship programs to actively promote entrepreneurship and business and, at the same time, stimulate the local and greater economy.
Since 2010, National Bank has been a major sponsor of the École d’Entrepreneurship de Beauce. The institution is dedicated to providing training to Quebec’s up-and-coming entrepreneurs and has taken on the mission of training established managers and decision makers.
As a major partner in this restoration project, National Bank Financial Group is participating in the revitalization of the Domaine Cataraqui in Quebec City. The 9.7-hectare site includes a villa, nine outbuildings and one of Quebec’s rare historic gardens. The new life to be given to this precious piece of our heritage will include housing a division of the École hôtelière de la Capitale.
The “Open house on Quebec farms” event, presented by National Bank Financial Group, is organized annually by Quebec’s Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA). The operation has attracted over one million visitors over the years with the goal of bringing together the province’s citizens and its farmers. It promotes local agriculture and raises awareness about different forms of agricultural production.
