"I strongly encourage entrepreneurs to participate in this challenge. It's an excellent bridge to introduce your product and company to the European market as you will have the opportunity to pitch your project in front of the industrial partners, both from Canada and Europe."

"The AAGEF Entrepreneur Challenge was a great experience. Not only were the awards super impactful to our company as we are in such an early stage but the networking and connections we made at this event were invaluable. The pitches by the other companies were done super well and I would recommend anyone to apply to pitch in next years event."

"My participation in the 2016 Challenge was an enlightening and rewarding experience. Even though our brand had received initial traction, including being the only Canadian brand selected for Sephora's Inaugural Accelarator, the pitch competition helped me to translate that success and convey the potential of the brand to investors, buyers and other supporters in more relevant fashion. I gained great insight from jury members and invaluable contacts, including a potential investor."

A massive thank you / merci to the  team for hosting the AAGEF Entrepreneur Challenge 2022! [...]

As a female entrepreneur, I am honoured to have been offered a full tuition scholarship to become a graduate student for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at Valar Institute! Education is absolutely priceless and I will cherish this opportunity for the rest of my life.

"The AAGEF 2019 Entrepreneur Challenge was a fantastic experience for Able Innovations. We received an excellent opportunity to gain exposure for our venture and network with influential individuals to forward our business goals. This competition is an ideal opportunity for Canadian entrepreneurs to gain exposure with a new audience and form novel partnerships to take their ventures to the next level." 

"The AAGEF Challenge was a great opportunity for Xesto to showcase our company to a large audience with a significant network. The exposure provides entrepreneurs access to well connected and generous individuals who want to see Canadian startups succeed. I would highly recommend this challenge for any Canadian entrepreneur looking to expand beyond Canada"
