Brief history

In 2004, Saint-Laurent, then merged with Montréal, transformed its economic development department and created Développement économique Saint-Laurent (DESTL), an NPO dedicated to supporting the development of Saint-Laurent entrepreneurs.

For more than 30 years, DESTL has been supporting the projects of businesses that make Saint-Laurent a key economic engine for Québec.
