Projects developed by the youth Entrepreneurs
The company "Gaspille pas ça" (Don't waste food inc). proposes to recycle products that are generally rejected by grocery store standards because they are not nice.  In one day, the youngsters sold 300 pounds of yellow beans from a local farmer.
The company Unitem inc. offers a mobile app to help people who can no longer stand to spend their time looking for products on store shelves. Thanks to the unitem application, a customer for example will be able to find the path that leads directly to the product he is looking for. The app acts as a googlemap that shows the way to get to the exact location of the product.

The company Bonappetit inc. offers a mobile app that uses geolocation to find "healthy" restaurants near your location. The app selects the restaurants based on the budget you specified.

The ICIouLA inc company proposes a solution to geolocate the objects thanks to a chip fixed on the object and a mobile application making it possible to locate it

Vertasa inc. offers employees who often work sitting and have back problems. It puts at your disposal a tailor-made sports program + Pedometer + exercise ball + adjustable table to make you healthier.

Testimony
For 13-year-old Justine Poirier, a young entrepreneur, her experience at Camp Audace allowed her to create Unitem with her team members: "My favorite moments at the camp were the afternoons during which we started our business. I had the chance to develop my leadership, not learn at school, and to refine my teamwork skills. "

For Vincent Thériault, co-founder of Surmesur and a Audacity coach, "there is nothing better than showing young people concretely what is a workplace created from scratch and being able to give a vision through its leader by putting foreground the importance of teamwork and the proactivity of each team members. It has been a pleasure for 3 years to welcome these future young entrepreneurs from the Audacicity summer camp, and share with them our passion! "
