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.

This sixth edition of the competition will bring well-deserved recognition to the Francophone entrepreneurs who excel in their day-to-day business activities. We trust that this event will continue to be a source of inspiration for other emerging and established Francophone entrepreneurs.

RDÉE Canada is taking advantage of this event to invite interested members of the business community to attend the afternoon workshop entitled Dialogue avec des entrepreneurs : les clés de la réussite francophone, where they can meet the finalists and invited experts to explore the keys to Francophone business success. The session promises to generate productive discussion and fruitful exchange, and it will be an opportunity for RDÉE Canada and its members to listen to participants’ needs first-hand.
