Selection process

Desjardins Entrepreneur Prizes are awarded by an independent selection committee made up of members of the business and university communities. The committee selects finalists and winners from the applications received and according to the specific selection criteria that apply to each prize.

Nonetheless, the committee reserves the right not to award prizes, and this in all prize categories.
