Vision, mission and actions

Vision

Écotech Québec helps position Québec as a centre of excellence for cleantech in North America. It is a major player in the development of this industry, which is recognized as an engine of wealth creation and prosperity. It helps make Québec more competitive, greener and healthier.

Mission

Écotech Québec unites and mobilizes the cleantech industry around common goals and actions. It participates in the “greening” of the Quebec economy through sustainable development. It supports entrepreneurs in accelerating the design, development, adoption, commercialization and export of clean technologies.

In order to quickly offer concrete benefits to its members, Écotech Québec develops tools and activities that respond to their needs.

As the first organisation of its type in Canada, Écotech Québec aims to build cohesion and synergy to help the cleantech industry to develop to its full potential. Actions and interventions aim to:

• Grow specialised knowledge and expertise about needs and trends in both the national and international realms;
• Increase the breadth of networking amongst industry players in order to generate more opportunities and partnerships;
