The
Establishment and Next Generation of Québec Inc.
Celebrate Les Affaires
The
Les Affaires newspaper’s new layout and enhanced
content were officially launched on Wednesday, August 29,
at an event attended by a number of major figures in the
Quebec business world. We’re bringing you a photo
feature on the launch.

The
launch was held on Wednesday, August 29,
at the Windsor Hotel in Montreal.
The organizers took advantage of this unique opportunity
to develop the business contacts of our next generation
of managers. Some 20 young entrepreneurs were given a chance
to be paired up with a star of the Québec Inc. establishment.
This will give them an opportunity to talk about their business
initiatives and get some good advice from their seniors.
Rémi Marcoux was paired with Thierry Pagé,
CEO of OdoTech, a world leader in the measurement and analysis
of environmental odours.
