Following a strong presence in 2025, Québec is taking a new step forward at VivaTech.
From June 17 to 20, 2026, a delegation of over 50 Québec companies will be in Paris within a dedicated Québec space, designed as a strong, cohesive, and ambitious showcase of Québec’s technology ecosystem.
Led by Québec Tech and the Centre d’excellence en efficacité énergétique (C3E), this initiative aims to strengthen Québec’s presence in Europe and accelerate business ties with France.
From presence to positioning
In 2025, Québec stood out within the Canadian pavilion led by Scale AI, with a major startup delegation. In 2026, the positioning evolves.
On one hand, a dedicated space led by Québec Tech, with a clear identity, a structured presence, and significant financial support for 32 companies.
On the other hand, the Corridor Économique de la transition énergétique, driven by C3E with the support of Québec Tech, will bring a France–Québec dynamic connecting startups, industrial players, and territories to accelerate early commercialization and deployment of energy transition solutions.
A 140 sqm booth, designed as a true industrial demonstration platform, will showcase concrete collaborations between startups and industry, as well as between regions—going far beyond a simple showcase.
A delegation powered by a full ecosystem
This presence at VivaTech 2026 is built on strong mobilization across Québec’s ecosystem.
Alongside Québec Tech and C3E, several partners are contributing to making this space a showcase aligned with Québec’s international ambitions.
Desjardins serves as the main partner, with Station Fintech Montréal (an initiative by Finance Montréal), Finance Montréal, NEXT avocats, IDEM (Eugeria), and École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) as supporting partners.
The initiative also benefits from the expertise and commitment of key entrepreneurial support organizations, including ACET, La Base entrepreneuriale, District 3, IVADO, Le Camp, Centech, Cycle Momentum, IVÉO, LOJIQ, La Piscine, Propolys, Quantino and Zú.
Finally, Investissement Québec International and the Québec Government Office in Paris play a structuring role in anchoring this presence within a coherent international strategy.
