Together, they foresaw the emergence of a new sector, one in which Quebec could become a center of excellence: clean technologies. Since its creation, Écotech Québec has helped implement numerous programs and establish organizations dedicated to the development and growth of the clean technology sector, both in Canada and internationally.
