A word from the
Chairman of the Board
and the Executive Director
We are proud to present our 2023 annual report. The Centre-Ouest territory has witnessed the birth and growth of many great projects over the past year, despite an uncertain
economic climate, reflecting the exceptional resilience and
adaptability of our entrepreneurs. They remain the driving force behind the economy and our communities, paving the way for a promising future of opportunities.
Over the past year, our financing tools and support services
have actively supported the social and economic development of our region. More than 800 businesses have benefited from our team’s support and guidance, and a total of $5.43 million in loans and grants has been granted.
