The event brought together members, partners, and entrepreneurs from across the region to review the past year and highlight the projects and services that make the region shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Over $1&nbsp;million in financing and strategic support services<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its first year under the new five-year agreement with Canada Economic Development, the CFDC authorized $1,020,000 in loans, including $340,000 in new sectors that are now eligible. This financial support was accompanied by customized support services: more than 877 hours were devoted to follow-ups, diagnostics, action plans, and technical mandates aimed at strengthening the management capabilities of local businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Targeted funds to address current issues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two new funds were created this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Strat\u00e9gie Verte et Num\u00e9rique, to support businesses in their ecological and technological transition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Strat\u00e9gie Transfert, to facilitate entrepreneurial succession and ensure the sustainability of businesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These new strategies complement the Fonds R\u00e9gulier and the Fonds Strat\u00e9gie Jeunesse well-established levers that remain essential for supporting entrepreneurial growth in the region. M\u00e9lanie Carrier, President, explains that \u201cAll these funds allow the SADC to remain agile in an uncertain economic context and to offer solutions tailored to the needs of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support that makes a difference: the example of Mont-Orignal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the testimonials shared at the meeting, that of the Mont-Orignal team eloquently illustrated the concrete impact of the SADC\u2019s advisory services. The organization benefited from strategic support that enabled it to improve its efficiency and review its management, governance, and human resources practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Promising collective projects for the region<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its support for businesses, the SADC continued its local economic development activities, notably through Synergie Bellechasse-Etchemins, projects related to immigration and sustainable development, and the Agir collectivement dans Bellechasse program. True to its role as a local catalyst, the SADC organized two of its flagship events this year, the \u00c9v\u00e9nement Inspirant and the Rendez-vous de l\u2019entrepreneuriat, thereby enhancing the region\u2019s appeal and dynamism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>About SADC Bellechasse-Etchemins<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SADC Bellechasse-Etchemins supports local economic development by financing and supporting businesses and communities. It acts as a growth partner for entrepreneurs in the region and promotes an innovative and sustainable economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/canada.ca\/dec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions supports the SADC<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u2014 30 \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Source and information:<\/strong><\/strong><br>Emmanuelle Pinel, Local Development and Communications Advisor<br>SADC Bellechasse-Etchemins\u2028<br>418\u00a0642-2844 poste 106<br>e.pinel@sadcbe.qc.ca<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A moment to take stock of achievements, results, and priorities for Bellechasse and Les Etchemins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-categorise"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
