Building on the success of its first edition, the innovation competition is back in force this year. Applicants have until November 21 to send their application to Initiative Saint-Martin Active.
We still remember the enthusiasm of the winners when the trophies were awarded last November in Marigot. Julien Di Meo from Bestway SXM, Marick and Marc-Harid Montout from Awesome Sound Record and Dorka Parra from SysMED had then received a financial boost for their professional project considered innovative.
For this second edition, Initiative Saint-Martin Active once again shows its involvement in favor of local entrepreneurs, with the support of the Collectivity, the Caisse des Dépôts and the CCISM. "The objectives of the competition are to detect innovative projects with high potential and support them" in particular to "promote the creation of wealth and jobs," says Initiative. Those interested in this second edition can compete for three prizes: the “Innovation and local economic development award”, the “Innovation and equal opportunities award” and the “Innovation and sustainable regional development award”.
