CCEDNet member, RDÉE Canada, is pleased to reveal the names of the 29 finalists in the Lauriers de la PME 2014 competition aimed at recognizing entrepreneurial excellence for small and medium-sized businesses in Canada’s Francophone and Acadian minority communities. The five winners will be announced at the Delta Beauséjour hotel in Moncton (New Brunswick) on November 15.
