Quebec has long been a powerhouse of Canadian business and innovation, and with good reason. Its strategic location provides unparalleled access to global markets and is supported by strong, modern transportation infrastructure. It boasts a highly skilled, bilingual, innovative workforce backed by a robust network of universities and research centers. And with its abundant hydroelectricity, lower operating costs, favorable tax system, and numerous government incentives, it makes for a highly competitive business environment.
Along with those opportunities, however, there are specific challenges involved in navigating Quebec’s distinct legal framework, bilingual market, and regulatory complexity.
