Brief history

.In 2001, Ville Saint-Laurent launched the Saint-Laurent Business Center, an NPO dedicated to supporting the development of Laurentian entrepreneurs. In 2006, when Saint-Laurent was merged in Montreal for four years, the organization changed name and becomes Saint-Laurent Economic Development (DESTL).

DESTL has been supporting the projects of businesses that make Saint-Laurent a key economic engine for Québec.
