The Québec Tech experience

We accelerate the growth of startups with strong export potential by putting sales at the heart of their development. With custom action plans, rapid access to special resources and top-level expertise, we give startups the means to achieve their export ambitions and shift into high gear.

Three distinct stages

Our services turn the dreams of Quebec tech startups into reality, thanks to the expertise and resources dedicated to their growth.
We offer three distinct phases, adapted to the three growth stages of tech startups:

2025

Stage VO

In 2025, in partnership with accelerators and incubators, we will roll out this phase to encourage and gain a better understanding of international opportunities. This service is offered to startups born for the international scene, in the midst of defining and validating their business model.

2024

Stage V

In 2024, a selection of startups with strong export potential, who have already made their first sales. They benefit from special access and support to shift into high gear and optimize their international growth.

2025

Stage V_Max

In addition, by 2025, young scaleups ready to conquer new markets will be supported. This service helps to accelerate their expansion and maximize their benefits.

Our service offering is inspired by kinetics, a discipline that regulates the movement of objects by describing trajectories, speeds and accelerations. This analogy is a nod to our goal: to help startups move up a gear.
