We have observed the growing success of the Anges financiers Contest in the last few years. It is a great honour and an immense pleasure for me to be associated with an event so important to the young business community.

Throughout my career, I have witnessed situations where new entrepreneurs were caught off guard when faced with challenges due to lack of information or experience.

In the present context, where the business community greatly needs a dynamic entrepreneurship which is well-financed and especially well-supported, an initiative like the Anges financiers Contest permits access to this support, permits the discovery of new businesses and what they have to offer and helps with increasing their recognition.

Desjardins is proud to be a partner of this event and continuing its support for Quebec businesses!
