Discover the best of the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Each year, the Emerging Entrepreneurs Contest helps propel 25 of Quebec’s most promising new companies. Launched in 2012, the contest’s mission is to help local startups shine by giving them access to networking, visibility and the tools they need to take their business to new heights. Since its inception, more than 275 companies have benefitted from the contest, and 85% of them are still operating. Among them are flagships of our economy such as Dialogue, Les Fermes Lufa, BonLook, Frank and Oak, Alvéole, Breather, Oatbox and Busbud.
