Testimony of the few recipients
William Viau
CEO, Studio Viau
I would like to express all my gratitude to the program, young companies, from which I benefited last year. Thanks to the grant obtained, I was able to establish precious connections that transformed my business into a real growth engine. The events I had access, such as Vision CEO and the Big Bang AQT, opened the doors to me to a world of knowledge and sharing inspiring stories. Meetings with exceptional people have greatly contributed to the development of my business at dazzling speed. Today, I am proud to be a member of the AQT and I strongly encourage you to apply for this grant.
Geneviève Provencher
CEO, Flow
When the AQT offered us a Young Business Grant, our company began marketing. The program that was offered to us included substantial discounts for Vision PDG and Big Bang events. Not to mention the wealth of key contacts that have offered us advice that are priceless.

President and co-founder, NexApp
Since we joined the AQT, our company has gone from 10 to 75 employees. The young company’s scholarship offered by the AQT has allowed us to invest in the development of our business network and above all to access managers that have cumulative years of experience. At the time of this scholarship in 2018, our company had to make very wise choices and the scholarship program made many services that we would have been private.
