History

Écotech Québec was founded in 2009 and is the first organization of its kind in Canada. Its creation is the result of sustained efforts and strategic thinking by several players who saw the emergence of a new sector of activity: clean technologies, in which Quebec could become a pole of excellence. Since its inception, the organization has been involved in the implementation of several programs and the creation of organizations dedicated to the development and growth of the clean-tech sector, both domestically and internationally.

Its expertise, recognized both by the provincial and international clean-tech community as well as by various government bodies, makes it a major player in innovation for a positive transformation of the economy.
