We are proud to unveil our 2024\u20132025 annual Impact Report\u2014a flagship publication that shines a light on the tangible results of our actions with entrepreneurs across all 17 regions of Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this year\u2019s report, we highlight the key figures of our impact: $9.21M in loans granted, $37.16M in investments generated, and over 1,054 jobs created or maintained. Our team also responded to more than 12,000 inquiries and provided guidance to 1,415 entrepreneurs. Behind these numbers are promising projects, ambitions coming to life, and people transforming entrepreneurship in Qu\u00e9bec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report also shows that Evol\u2019s financing is closely aligned with today\u2019s major challenges: inclusion, sustainability, and resilience. Every business we financed is committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and over 47% have now reached an advanced level of sustainability maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We firmly believe that entrepreneurship is a driver of social transformation. And above all, that anyone who wants to start a business should have an equal opportunity to succeed\u2014regardless of their gender, background, or life journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conviction drives our actions: in 2024\u20132025, 87% of our impact capital was invested in businesses owned by at least one woman, and 38% in businesses led by entrepreneurs from underrepresented groups. These numbers reflect our unwavering commitment to making entrepreneurship truly accessible and equitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, over 13,500 hours of personalized support were offered to 1,415 entrepreneurs. We also recorded more than 12,000 engagements with our online learning activities and resource toolbox. Entrepreneurs themselves affirm the real impact of our support: with a 92% satisfaction rate, our offer goes beyond financing. It\u2019s rooted in a human-centred team that listens and is deeply committed to the success of those we support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our annual report also highlights several of the businesses we supported this year, showcasing how Evol acts as a powerful catalyst for Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s economic transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
