Setting up Your Company in Quebec

Quebec provides an environment that is well-suited to innovation: committed governments, R&D support policies, and close cooperation with universities, research centres and industry. This integrated ecosystem favours the emergence of strategic partnerships and concrete solutions.

Located on the northeastern coast of North America, Quebec provides direct access to close to 1 billion consumers through free-trade agreements with the USA and the European Union. Located near large cities such as New York, Boston and Toronto, Quebec is a natural entry point for international companies.

Quebec has a highly qualified talent pipeline that comes from world-renowned academic institutions. Quebec also has attractive tax incentives for growth companies, in particular in R&D.

The Canadian patent system, which has historically favoured inventors, is known for its rigorousness and efficient protection of innovations. It facilitates the creation of spin-offs and use of research findings.

A unique combination of creativity, collaboration and competitiveness, Quebec constitutes an exceptional environment for ambitious companies seeking to fast-track their development internationally.
