It is with immense pride and enthusiasm that we announce today news that marks an important milestone in the history of our company: Vers l'avenir is a finalist at the 21st edition of the Gala des Dubuc, organized by the Saguenay-Le Fjord Chamber of Commerce and Industry (@ccisaguenaylefjord). This recognition, which highlights the dynamism and innovation of businesses in our beautiful region, particularly touches us and motivates us to pursue our mission with even more determination.
The Dubuc Gala: a flagship event for regional entrepreneurship
The Dubuc Gala is much more than just an awards ceremony. It's a must-attend annual event that celebrates the boldness, creativity, and perseverance of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean entrepreneurs. Organized by the Saguenay-Le Fjord Chamber of Commerce and Industry , this event aims to publicly recognize the exceptional work carried out by businesses and organizations that actively contribute to the economic and social development of our region.
This year, the Gala received a record number of applications: 101 submissions in 11 different categories, ranging from innovation to entrepreneurial succession, sustainable development, and microenterprise. After a rigorous selection process conducted by a jury composed of experts, economic leaders, and influential members of the business community, only 33 companies were selected as finalists. Being part of this select group is in itself a victory and a testament to our team's credibility.
The awards ceremony, scheduled for May 8 at Théâtre C, promises to be a powerful opportunity for networking, celebration, and experience sharing. It will be an opportunity to meet other inspiring entrepreneurs, discuss our respective challenges, and build relationships that we are confident will help strengthen our region's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Towards the future Innovation: a passion for innovation in the service of electric mobility
Our company, Vers l'avenir (@verslavenirinnovations), was born from a deep passion for new technologies and a conviction that electric mobility is an essential pillar of the energy transition. Since our beginnings, we have chosen to focus on innovation, quality, and customer proximity to offer electric vehicle charging solutions tailored to the needs of citizens, businesses, and municipalities.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to facilitate access to electric mobility and help build a cleaner, more responsible, and more prosperous future for our region. We firmly believe that every charging station installed, every satisfied customer, and every partnership developed brings us one step closer to this goal.
Being a finalist in the "Microenterprise and Self-Employed" category of the Gala des Dubuc is a recognition of the progress we've made, the efforts we've made, and the trust you, our clients and partners, place in us every day. It also encourages us to continue innovating, learning, and adapting to a constantly evolving market.
An entrepreneurial journey marked by perseverance and commitment
Like many entrepreneurs, our journey hasn't been a smooth one. The challenges have been numerous: adapting to new technologies, rapidly evolving markets, raising public awareness of electric mobility, managing growth... But each obstacle we overcame has strengthened our determination and our ability to innovate.
We have chosen to focus on the quality of our products and services, on actively listening to our customers, and on developing strong partnerships with local and regional stakeholders. This approach has allowed us to build a reputation for reliability and expertise, while contributing to the growth of electric mobility in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean.
We are particularly proud to have been able to support numerous individuals, businesses, and municipalities in their transition to electromobility. Each project completed, each charging station installed is a source of satisfaction for us and tangible proof that change is possible, provided you believe in it and are fully committed.
A recognition that belongs to our entire community
If we are finalists at the Dubuc Gala today, it is above all thanks to you: our clients, our partners, our employees, and all those who, directly or indirectly, support our approach. We share this recognition with each of you. It demonstrates the strength of the collective, the importance of mutual support and solidarity in entrepreneurial success.
We would like to warmly thank the Saguenay-Le Fjord Chamber of Commerce and Industry for organizing this unifying event, as well as all the members of the jury for their trust. We also thank our team, which has demonstrated exemplary commitment and professionalism, as well as our partners who believe in our vision and support us in our development.
The future of electric mobility: challenges to overcome, opportunities to seize
We recognize that the road to widespread electric mobility is not without its challenges. The economic climate, infrastructure issues, and public awareness are all challenges to overcome. But we are convinced that, collectively, we have the ability to transform these challenges into opportunities.
Being a finalist at the Gala des Dubuc gives us the momentum we need to continue innovating, raising awareness, and mobilizing our community around the challenges of the energy transition. We believe that Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean has the potential to become a model region for sustainable mobility, provided we focus on collaboration, innovation, and entrepreneurial boldness.
