The global business service consultancy EY will name the Atlantic winners of its Entrepreneur of the Year competition next Thursday in Moncton.
EY has selected 32 finalists in eight categories, who will be showcased at a gala at the Delta Beausejour on Oct. 5. The winners will move on to the national competition. Tickets for the Moncton event are available here.
“Although Atlantic is one of the smaller regions, our entrepreneurs certainly have no less drive,” says Gina Kinsman, Entrepreneur Of The Year Atlantic program Director. “This year’s finalists dare to dream big and aren’t letting uncertainty stop them from stepping on the gas. They’re forward-thinking, developing solutions to problems we don’t know exist. I’m proud to have them represent the Atlantic region.”
