The 30^th ADRIQ Innovation Awards Gala took place on November 19, 2020. Once again this year, PetalMD was in the limelight for winning the Innovation Award in the “Innovation | SMB” category.

The Innovation Awards are given to companies that have recently developed and marketed an innovation with an explicitly novel component which bestows an important competitive advantage on the product and company. The awards seek to celebrate individual companies’ capacity to innovate and the innovative technological creativity of all our Quebec companies.

• led to and continues to lead to an important increase in revenue and in profitability;
• has been commercially successful and has had a positive impact on the company, including in terms of competitive advantage, increased sales, and an improvement in the company’s strategic positioning.
