Venture Capital
Québec has one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial economies in the country. If you watched the Olympic Games in HD, or your cholesterol levels are medicated, or if you just bought the latest video game, you have likely encountered the creativity of Québec.
It invests more in Research and Development as a percentage of GDP than the average G-7 country. It is the fourth-ranked region of North America for health industry activity. It accounts for 44% of Canada’s high technology exports.
Venture capital chases creativity. Which helps to explain why Quebec is home to one of North America’s leading VC communities – and why it attracts almost half the VC investment dollars in Canada.
