Startup Montréal, the non-profit organization that has supported early-stage Montréal startups is now known as Québec Tech. The rebranded organization has also adopted a new mandate to grow the international footprint of Québec tech companies with high export potential.

To talk about the important mission of Québec Tech, I had the pleasure of speaking with Richard Chenier on the podcast to learn more about their plans and how they plan on addressing a key challenge for Quebec based startups.
On the episode, we spoke about:

  • The reason to expand the mission of Quebec Tech to the entire province

  • How they plan to support their initial cohort of startups

  • Why they focused on international go to market as the key value creation lever

  • How Quebec compares to other provinces

  • Reasons for optimism and why Quebec startups will win
