A little history, and a look back
SADC Matawinie initially conducted a commercial study of the Matawinie MRC territory in 2015. It was a mobilizing project aimed initially at identifying the business and service needs of the territory's citizens, vacationers and tourists. Based on the various findings of the study, we wanted to facilitate the start-up of new businesses or enhance the offerings of existing businesses. The extensive consultation campaign carried out in 2016 identified the top 3 commercial needs in each of the participating municipalities. These priority needs were presented in the form of business opportunities, making it easier to start up, sustain and grow businesses on the territory.
Chapeautered by SADC Matawinie, the Matawinie commercial study was carried out in collaboration with ten (10) participating municipalities.
6 candles later
" After blowing out 6 candles this year, we wanted to offer start-up and experienced entrepreneurs alike, a platform where all the resources closely and remotely involved in entrepreneurship are available and accessible. And to do so in a way that makes it easier for companies to take action.. " Jonathan Landreville, General Manager of SADC Matawinie.
A complete overhaul of the website and its content was carried out and updated. Entreprendre Matawinie is also closely linked to the MRC Matawinie's territorial attraction strategy project, and inspired by the Lanaudière territorial brand image.
As this platform is intended to evolve, entrepreneurs, municipalities and development organizations on the territory are invited to send us any new information that could be added and improved on the d'entreprendre Matawinie platform.
