Like many of you reading this, there was a time when
I had little familiarity or understanding of esports.
I had heard of the common negative stereotypes
around video games, including that it's isolating,
purely recreational, and aimlessly focused. After
learning more about esports, I realized that these
notions could not be farther from the truth. Esports
emulates the qualities we all want to see in a sport,
it is organized - structured, team-based, and
leads to significant character development. After
seeing the incredible work that PlayVS was doing
to engage high schools across the country, I was
sold on the power and future that esports would
have in scholastics. I firmly believe that esports are
more than just a form of entertainment - they're a
platform for personal and educational growth.
In 1983, Premier Tech opened its Research Center in
Rivière-du-Loup, the most extensive research facility
dedicated to advancing biotechnologies associated
with growing media. This approach led to the creation
of an innovative technological platform for the aseptic
production of mycorrhizal inoculum on an industrial scale.
Since then, its biotechnology portfolio has expanded
Education and participation in sports have been
extremely formative influences in my life. I grew up
in rural Massachusetts as the son of public servants
who committed their careers and lives to education
and social work. At an early age, I learned the
critical importance of our education system and the
passionate teachers, administrators, and coaches.
I also experienced the pride of representing my
schools - from elementary school through college
- on the basketball court and across various other
team sports. Through all of these experiences, I
gained immense respect and appreciation for the
value of working hard in and outside the classroom,
setting ambitious goals, collaborating as a team,
and learning so many life lessons from both
successes and setbacks.
Making the choice to adopt esports as part of your
sports and activity offerings means opening up
with the addition of Bacillus and other biologicals. The
research team is constantly working to develop new
sustainable solutions to advance plant science.
By combining expertise, Premier Tech skillfully integrates
biological active ingredients into growing media,
significantly enhancing plant health and improving their
resistance to environmental stresses. The PRO-MIX®
product line is renowned for its quality and consistency
among growers and stands out for its integration of
biostimulants and biocontrols that protect plants and
foster robust plant growth.
Moreover, Premier Tech is dedicated to empowering
its clients through education and support. The Grower
Services team delivers expert guidance on a variety of
topics, including crop nutrition, water management,
and the effective use of growing media. Premier Tech
also offers accessible online learning platforms to
keep growers informed about the latest advancements
in horticulture.
Sustainability is a key principle at Premier Tech,
influencing both product development and
manufacturing processes. The company adheres to
stringent environmental standards, ensuring sustainable
practices are integrated into every stage of production.
Looking ahead, Premier Tech continues its leadership in
innovation, focusing on delivering value to its clients and
contributing positively to global practices. The company's
ongoing commitment to effective, sustainable solutions is
paving the way for a healthier, more productive future.
