mdf commerce inc. (TSX:MDF), a leader in SaaS
commerce technology solutions, is proud to announce the launch of a
call for applications for the
mdf commerce
Grants-for-Start-ups programme, the objective of which is to
recognize the contribution to the economic recovery of 10 young
companies in the techno-digital sector in Quebec.
mdf
commerce and the AQT are happy to join forces to offer 10
grants as well as two years of AQT membership and personalized
support offered by the network.
mdf commerce will
also offer three one-hour sessions with its experts to each of the
winners so that they can discuss best practices in areas such as
communications, human resources, sales, marketing or any other
business development related topic.
Thanks to this joint mdf
commerce and AQT initiative, 10 companies of less than
five years of activity will get access to a large, well-established
network of professionals in their sector, thus maximizing their
visibility with their peers and potential partners, in addition to
obtaining recognition for their contribution to the economic
recovery.
The jury will be made up of AQT members holding
senior management positions in their companies. In addition to
evaluating applications focused on projects promoting economic
recovery, the members of the jury will consider companies
demonstrating inclusion and diversity among their teams, a value
dear to mdf commerce and the AQT.
“In the exceptional economic context in which we
have been immersed for over a year, we have observed significant
changes, especially in the technology sector,” said Luc
Filiatreault, President and CEO of mdf commerce.
"The digital transformation of companies has accelerated at all
levels and has generated unprecedented creativity and resilience in
the industry: it is this extraordinary ingenuity and this desire to
contribute positively to a better post-pandemic world that
mdf commerce wishes to highlight via the
Grants-for-Start-ups initiative.”
"We are very proud to be able to launch this
call for applications and honored that mdf
commerce has accepted to launch this movement which aims
to promote our local businesses in the techno-digital sector,"
added Nicole Martel, President and Director General of the AQT. "We
are fully aware that Quebec entrepreneurs have no shortage of ideas
and ambition to overcome the economic challenges that await us; we
look forward to introducing them to our network and supporting them
in their development over the next two years."
