SETYM International Wins the “Business with Africa” Award at the REPAF Vision and Inspiration Excellence Gala

7 June 2024, Montreal, QC –

SETYM International was honoured with the prestigious “Business with Africa” Award at the Vision and Inspiration Excellence Gala, organised by the Réseau des Entrepreneurs et Professionnels Africains (REPAF). This ceremony, which celebrates outstanding initiatives and contributions by African professionals and businesses, took place on Friday, 7 June, in Montreal.

Ingrid Martin, Senior Coordinator of Customer Service at SETYM International, accepted the award on behalf of CEO Mr Larbi Bennouna. She was joined by Véronique Brissonnaud, also a Coordinator, and Soraya Benitez, Head of Client Experience at SETYM. The award was presented by Mrs Fatima Braoule MEITE, Ambassador of Mali, before an audience of innovators. This distinction reflects SETYM International’s commitment to promoting sustainable development and strengthening capacities across Africa.

“We are deeply honoured to receive this award,” said Ingrid Martin during her acceptance speech. “This recognition speaks to our hard work and dedication to making a meaningful impact across the African continent.”

On a Development Mission

The CEO of SETYM International was on a development mission in Africa and was therefore unable to attend the ceremony—yet another example of the organisation’s on-the-ground commitment. This absence was highlighted by Martin as “a living testament to our active engagement.”

The gala also spotlighted TransNumerik, another finalist for the award, showcasing the quality and impact of the nominated companies’ contributions. SETYM International extends its gratitude for being nominated alongside TransNumerik, a company that shares our commitment to sustainable development in Africa. The joint efforts of all nominees are essential to fostering a prosperous and sustainable future for the continent.

This award is not only a recognition of SETYM International’s past achievements, but also a source of inspiration for future efforts. The organisation remains focused on capacity building through professional training in emerging and developing countries.

In conclusion, Ingrid Martin expressed her gratitude and unwavering commitment to SETYM International’s mission:

“We share this victory with every member of our team, and we are determined to continue working with passion and dedication towards a brighter future in Africa.”
