Christine Drolet, founder of Réinspire
On May 1, Réinspire was awarded the Druide Grand Prize for Business Creation at the Montréal region’s 26th Défi OSEntreprendre Gala. The award includes a $3000 grant and various services to help grow the winning business. Druide also presented the six official category winners with a copy of Antidote+.
Druide informatique has partnered with the OSEntreprendre Challenge since 2012. The Druide Grand Prize is a result of this partnership and recognizes the top project out of all winners in the Business Creation section.
This year’s Challenge participants submitted more than 75 projects to this section, six of which won in an official category. The jury for the Druide Grand Prize for Business Creation picked Réinspire from among these winning companies, impressed by the innovative alternative to traditional educational methods promoted by founder Christine Drolet, a psychoeducator.
